The township, and all of Cape May County, is part of the South Jersey region of the state and of the Ocean City metropolitan statistical area, which is part of the Philadelphia-Wilmington-Camden, PA-NJ-DE-MD combined statistical area, also known as the Delaware Valley or Philadelphia metropolitan area. [18] As of the 2020 United States census, the township's population was 12,539, [9] [10] an increase of 166 (+1.3%) from the 2010 census count of 12,373, [19] [20] which in turn reflected an increase of 258 (+2.1%) from the 12,115 counted in the 2000 census. [21]
New Jersey Monthly magazine ranked Upper Township as its 2nd best place to live in its 2008 rankings of the "Best Places To Live" in New Jersey. [22]
Upper Township is home to the only yellow fire trucks in Cape May County, a tradition started in 1985 when the Seaville Fire Rescue Company was purchasing a new vehicle and thought that federal regulations would require the color.

[24]
Upper Township was formed as a precinct on April 2, 1723, and was incorporated as one of New Jersey's initial 104 townships by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on February 21, 1798. Portions of the township have been taken to form Dennis Township (March 1, 1827) and Ocean City borough (March 3, 1884), [25] and territorial changes were made involving Sea Isle City in March and April 1905. [26] The township's name came from its location when Cape May was split into three townships in 1723 at the same time that Lower Township and Middle Township were created. [27]
