Mickleton is a small community in Gloucester County, New Jersey. It's known as an "unincorporated community." This means it's a place with its own identity, but it's part of a larger township, East Greenwich Township. It's also a "census-designated place," which means the U.S. Census Bureau counts its population separately.

Mickleton has its own ZIP Code, 08056. In 2000, about 2,469 people lived here. Since then, more homes have been built, and the population has grown quite a bit.

You can still see Mickleton's old roots from the Quakers. The "Friend's Meeting House" is a Quaker church. There's also the "Little Red School House," which was a school building way back in the 1600s and 1700s.
