The ZIP Code has been reassigned to a post office named Voorhees that serves the entire township. Kirkwood is still a valid city name for mailing purposes.

Kirkwood developed as a bungalow community of homes near Kirkwood Lake, an impoundment of the Cooper River. Residents of nearby Philadelphia and Camden enjoyed Kirkwood as a summer escape from the cities, and many Kirkwood homes were originally Sears-Roebuck catalogue houses built as vacation homes. Most of the early homes were built in the 1915-1925 period.

As of the 2000 United States Census, the population for ZIP Code Tabulation Area 08043 was 28,126.
