I think "Winfield Twp." should be "Winfield Park". I live like 5 minutes from there, and that's what everyone calls it, and I'm 98% sure that's what their "Welcome to..." sign says.

Great quiz. I like how you provided the extra info, which was nonetheless interesting to read about.

I know the signs say that, but the name is what is it. There are several municipalities more commonly known by other names (Evesham and Stafford townships come to mind), but for consistency's sake, I'm sticking with the official name.
