The 1987 Fall Tour of The Society For Industrial Archeology: The booklet provides an overview of the various industries which formed the culture of South Jersey. The first area covered of the southern part of New Jersey is the coastal area; fishing, oystering, and boat building. This includes the Atlantic shore and the Delaware Bay, which contain vast reaches of tidal marshes. The second area of investigation is that part of the outer coastal plain known as the Pine Barrens. A tract of at least 650,00 acres which supplied the mill seats and raw materials for iron, paper, glass, blueberries, and cranberries. In addition, the people who followed the bay, who worked the iron plantations; and who in later years became known as “Pineys” are included. Learn about at least three generations of the William Richards family who helped to create much of South Jersey’s history. -
By Ocean County Historical Society: See the people, places and events that have defined the city of Toms River and its surrounding area since the early 1700s. Located on the banks of the river of the same name, Toms River was first settled in the early 1700s by loggers drawn to the dense forests on the river's banks. During the American Revolution, the village was a constant thorn in the side of the British, and it was attacked and burned to the ground in 1783. The arrival of the railroads in the late 1800s ushered in a new age of expansion which, spurred on by the construction of the Garden State Parkway in the decade after World War II, continues to this day. See for yourself how it all came about with over 200 carefully-selected photographs. -
