Mehr zum Buch

Cumberland County boasts a diverse history shaped by its original Lenape inhabitants and subsequent waves of European immigrants. Key rivers, such as the Cohansey and Maurice, have played a vital role in connecting the area’s towns, each with unique historical significance—Greenwich as a colonial port, Port Norris as an oyster capital, and Seabrook Farms as a major vegetable factory. In 2013, the county commemorates its 265th anniversary, inviting residents and visitors to delve into the rich narratives of Bridgeton, Millville, Vineland, and beyond.
