The paper was founded in 1958 by S.W. Calkins, who already owned theBucks County Courier Times inBucks County, Pennsylvania andThe Herald-Standard inUniontown, Pennsylvania. At the urging of builderWilliam Levitt, Calkins began theLevittown Times in nowWillingboro, New Jersey, with offices and a printing facility onU.S. Route 130. Following the name change of Levittown to Willingboro, the name of the newspaper changed to "Burlington County Times." In the early 1970s, the paper went from a 6-day afternoon paper at a cost of 60 cents per week to a 7-day paper. Only the Sunday paper was a morning paper, the rest of the week still being published in the afternoons. With the addition of Sunday, the weekly subscription price rose to 75 cents. In 2008, print operations were shifted to a new facility inFalls Township, Pennsylvania along with theBucks County Courier Times andThe Intelligencer. In 2017,Calkins Media was acquired by GateHouse Media.
