Many of the County Links on the left will keep you specifically in Camden County and the Delaware River Region of NJ. We add new listings and links on a regular basis.
The coming of the Camden and Amboy Railroad helped spur Camden's population growth to 9,500 by mid-century. In 1838 a canal had been cut through Windmill Island in the middle of the Delaware River, making ferry travel easier under all weather conditions. The shortened commuter time combined with an increasing number of businesses and services made Camden an attractive place to live.
Today, located where a tidy suburban street dead ends against deep woods, the historic site is marked with a modest commemorative stone and a tiny landscaped park.
Just beyond the stone the ground drops away into the steep ravine where the bones of Hadrosaurus foulkii were originally excavated. In relation to the history of paleontology, this Haddonfield Hadrosaurus site is ground zero; the spot where our collective fascination with dinosaurs began. Visitors can still climb down crude paths into the 30-foot, vine-entangled chasm to stand in an almost primordial quiet at the actual marl pit where the imagination of all mankind was exploded outward to embrace the stunning fact that our planet was once ruled by fantastically large, bizarrely shaped reptilian creatures
The modest canning factory which Joseph Campbell and Archibald Anderson built on North Second Street in 1869 eventually became known as the Campbell Soup Company.
In 1926 President Calvin Coolidge dedicated the Delaware River Bridge, later renamed for Benjamin Franklin. It opened the way for commuters to work in Philadelphia and live in the Camden suburbs.
