SJR 170 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Celebrates and commemorates Timbuctoo's 200th anniversary.

This resolution (SJR 170) is a symbolic commemoration, not a policy change. It celebrates the 200th anniversary of Timbuctoo, an unincorporated community in Burlington County, New Jersey, established in 1826 by formerly enslaved and free African-Americans. The resolution recognizes Timbuctoo's historical significance as a stop on the Underground Railroad and highlights community efforts like the 1860 "Battle of Pine Swamp" where residents protected freedom seekers. It directs copies to the New Jersey Black Heritage Trail Advisory Committee and local historical groups to honor this legacy.
