Fellowship is a small place in Mount Laurel, Burlington County, in the state of New Jersey. It's called an unincorporated community. This means it's a neighborhood or area that doesn't have its own separate local government. Instead, it's part of a larger township, which in this case is Mount Laurel.
Fellowship was first settled by a Quaker named George Roberts. Long ago, it was the busiest part of Mount Laurel. It had many useful shops like two general stores, a place to fix wagons, a shoe shop, and a blacksmith. There were also mechanic shops and even a boarding school where students could live and learn.
Today, Fellowship looks different. It's now surrounded by many businesses and homes. It's a modern area that has grown a lot from its early days.
