AJR 234 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Celebrates and commemorates Timbuctoo's 200th anniversary.

AJR 234 is a commemorative joint resolution celebrating Timbuctoo’s 200th anniversary in September 2026. It recognizes Timbuctoo, an unincorporated community in Westampton Township, New Jersey, established in 1826 by formerly enslaved and free African-Americans, including four men who escaped slavery in Maryland. The resolution formally acknowledges Timbuctoo’s historical role as an Underground Railroad stop and its 1860 defense against slave catchers (the "Battle of Pine Swamp"). Copies will be sent to the New Jersey Black Heritage Trail Advisory Committee, Timbuctoo Advisory Committee, and Timbuctoo Historical Society.
