Whig Lane is an unincorporated community located within Upper Pittsgrove Township in Salem County, New Jersey, United States.[1][2] It is located approximately 5 mi (8.0 km) east of Woodstown.
The settlement is named for an altercation which occurred there in 1769 between Tories and Whigs.[3] Around that time—prior to the American Revolution—one part of the settlement was also called "Tory Lane".[4]
