The official name is Marlton, New Jersey. Marlton was founded by Welsh and English farmers beginning in 1676. The name is derived from marl clay, which is commonly found in the local soil. The discovery of the marl content helped local business and farmers, and caused the first "building boom", occurring in the 1830s and 1840s. Marl continued to be excavated in Marlton until 1930, when the pits were shut down. The marl was sold locally, and shipped directly, by rail to Burlington City, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Atlantic City, for reshipping as an alternate for green manure, water treatment amendment, and semi-flowable fill. It was also used as a source of green manure for the city's sewage treatment system, and as a fertilizer for the town's lawns. The town is now a suburb of New York City, with a population of around 100,000. It is also the site of the famous Marl Tunnel, which was built in the late 1800s and early 1900s to carry out the construction of the New York Pennsylvania railway.

The Marl River, which runs through the town, was once a major source of water supply for the area, but was abandoned in the early 20th century.
