Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Egg Harbor City celebrates the historic beginnings of this city through rare and vintage photographs. Egg Harbor City was founded as a refuge from the sweeping nativism of the Know-Nothings, a group that tried to limit immigration and naturalization into the United States. Egg Harbor City was a place where German Americans could maintain the traditions, language, and lifestyle of their fatherland. The city was designed in rectangular blocks with lots for building, gardening, or farming. Parks were built and a harbor was planned on the north side of the city with rail lines connecting it to the Camden and Atlantic Railroad. Following the 1876 Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia, Egg Harbor City's wines earned the community great respect, and it became known as the "Wine City," drawing hundreds of visitors to its many wineries. Egg Harbor City celebrates the early years of the place once known as the most German city in the United States of America.

Download or read book Around Egg Harbor City and Pleasantville written by Dennis M. Niceler and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2014-05-26 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the Germans came to Atlantic County in 1855, they imagined a community with an urban center surrounded by a farm district. This would be a great industrial and agricultural community, served by direct railroad and maritime connections to Philadelphia and New York City. In 1858, the urban center these pioneers envisioned became Egg Harbor City. Eleven miles toward the coast is Pleasantville. Originally home to fishing and whaling settlers, it officially became a municipality in 1888. Its proximity to the increasingly popular Atlantic City helped Pleasantville to grow and prosper. Egg Harbor City and Pleasantville showcases the rich history of these two communities through a unique collection of historical images.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Southern New Jersey: Pulling Together During World War II By: Marston A. Mischlich Southern New Jersey: Pulling Together During World War II shed some light on the efforts of average people from all walks of life in some of New Jersey’s southern communities who provided goods and services in a united effort to help win World War II. Some were unable to serve in the armed forces but still felt the need to do their part. Much of the material is little known to the current generation. For example, men and women involved with the “Bomb Plant” located just outside Mays Landing, New Jersey, were told not to divulge any information as to how the bomb was assembled. It was so secret that few have ever talked about it seventy + years later. Personal interview with folks who were there and declassified government reports have helped to paint a better picture of how people worked together for a common cause. Very little has been written about this part of New Jersey and still more needs to be done. It offers the reader a better understanding of the sacrifices ordinary people made to achieve a common goal and at the same time learn about their effort to be remembered and celebrated.

Book excerpt: The White Horse Pike may not be America's most famous road, but it is one of the most storied. Originally a migratory footpath of the Leni-Lenape, this timeless 60-mile route from the Delaware to the Atlantic has been followed by everyone from Walt Whitman to the Jersey Devil. It has served as a stagecoach highway, a toll road, and a pattern for railroads. The White Horse Pike depicts the heyday of this still popular city-to-shore road, the most direct route from Camden to Atlantic City.
