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 founding 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 an event known as the Battle of Pine Swamp.

In recognition of its rich history and cultural heritage, Timbuctoo was selected to be part of the New Jersey Black Heritage Trail program, which aims to promote awareness of Black history. The resolution calls for the celebration of Timbuctoo's achievements and its legacy in the fight for freedom and equality for African-Americans. It mandates that copies of the resolution be sent to relevant historical and advisory committees to ensure the community's contributions are acknowledged and remembered.
