Jacksonville is an unincorporated community located within Springfield Township, in Burlington County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey.[2] Located at a skewed intersection of County Routes 628 and 670, the area consists of farmland and houses. It had a population of nearly one hundred by 1883.[3] The area also has the remains of the Animal Kingdom Zoo, a small zoo shuttered since 2012 due to deadly fires and numerous animal welfare violations.[4] The John Irick House located in the community was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.[5]
