The resolution celebrates the 200th anniversary of Timbuctoo, an unincorporated community in Westampton Township, New Jersey, established in 1826 by formerly enslaved and free African-Americans. It highlights the community's historical significance, particularly its role as a stop on the Underground Railroad and its contributions to African-American resiliency. The resolution notes the establishment of Timbuctoo by four men who escaped enslavement and emphasizes the community's determination to protect its members, exemplified by their resistance against a slave catcher in 1860 during the Battle of Pine Swamp.

In recognition of its rich history and contributions to African-American heritage, Timbuctoo was selected as one of the first sites for the New Jersey Black Heritage Trail program. The resolution calls for the celebration of Timbuctoo's achievements and its legacy, and it mandates that copies of the resolution be sent to relevant historical and advisory committees. The resolution is set to take effect immediately, marking a significant acknowledgment of Timbuctoo's place in New Jersey's history.
