      • The historic 1838 Atlantic County Courthouse is located at 5901 Main Street in Mays Landing, the county seat of Atlantic County, in Hamilton Township, New Jersey, United States.


      History and description


      The courthouse was built shortly after the county was created in 1837. The building was originally constructed in 1838 and expanded over the years. It was renovated in 2010. The courthouse complex, which includes the courthouse, old sheriff's office, jail, and power plant, was added as a contributing property to the Mays Landing Historic District in 1990. It now houses the Office of County Clerk. The Atlantic County Sheriff's Office and older county jails are behind the building.


      Current courthouses


      The historic courthouse complex has been superseded by the Atlantic County Criminal Courts Complex (1978) in Mays Landing (39°26′18″N 74°41′28″W)
      and the Atlantic County Civil Courts Complex in Atlantic City (39°21′50″N 74°25′36″W), which are part of the 1st vicinage.
