Once a sprawling ocean bed, the expanse of land we know today as Gloucester County is relatively flat. At the same time, the region’s varied landscape encompasses thousands of acres of gently sloping agricultural land. Located in Southwestern New Jersey with the Delaware River forming its western boundary, Gloucester was first settled by Swedes, Finns, and English Quakers. Today, as it was in the 1600s, farming remains an important industry. However, in recent years, fertile files have given way to a growing number of industrial coacncerns that are particularly concentrated along the western edge of the county. Nevertheless, the county remains a vital source of farm products for New Jersey and the entire Delaware Valley.<\/p>\n

Graced with the visual appeal of a primarily rural atmosphere, Gloucester County offers the advantage of access to some of the nation\u2019s most vital metropolitan areas. This serene and primarily rural region stands as proof that serene and panoramic places are still available for those who desire to escape the fast pace and crowds of urban life \u2014 even in the most densely populated state in the nation. With its patchwork quilt of farmland dotted with trees and residential communities, Gloucester has managed to preserve much of the feeling of openness and the uncluttered lifestyle of its early history, which dates back more than 300 years.<\/p>\n

Apple and peach orchards and vegetable and dairy farms are quiet and productive neighbors for the many small towns and thriving businesses that have blossomed in this fertile region. Along the Delaware River and near the major highways are numerous chemical, petroleum, and electrical manufacturing companies that have taken advantage of the area\u2019s centralized location, well-trained work force, and abundant natural resources. With significant undeveloped acreage in close proximity to one of the nation’s largest cities, Gloucester\u2019s future looks bright for further expansion.<\/p>\n

Leading the way into the new millennium is a bustling area referred to as the \u201cCommodore Corridor.\u201d This ten-mile strip is flanked by two of New Jersey\u2019s best known and largest industrial parks or corporate centers, already housing an impressive number of leading companies and utilizing millions of square feet of commercial space. Between these parks are two new business centers, creating a magnet for further growth and development. All of these dynamic enterprises enjoy an ideal location that is only minutes from Philadelphia and the vast resources of its international airport. A winning combination of strategic location, affordable land, low taxes, low cost of living, inexpensive residential housing, and a labor force that excels in both quality and quality are attracting quality economic activity to Gloucester County.<\/p>\n

Services
\n<\/strong>Gloucester County not only provides convenient access to most of the Delaware Valley and the New Jersey Shore beaches, it is strategically situated in terms of the entire Northeastern United States. Route 42 and Interstate 295 place Philadelphia less than 30 minutes away, while Atlantic City is scarcely an hour\u2019s drive. Wilmington, Delaware, is a half-hour drive away via the New Jersey Turnpike or the Commodore Barry Bridge; and Washington, DC, is only three hours by automobile. The New Jersey Turnpike also allows Gloucester County residents to reach the “Big Apple” of New York City in less than two hours.<\/p>\n

Amtrak, PATCO high-speed commuter rail, and New Jersey Transit bus service provide efficient public transit to Philadelphia and other key destinations. Bustling ports in Philadelphia and Camden boast the world\u2019s largest and busiest freshwater port along with the East Coast\u2019s largest containerization facility. In addition to local airports, Gloucester County is served by the expanded facilities of nearby Philadelphia International Airport.<\/p>\n

Options for higher education are virtually unlimited in the Delaware Valley, which is home to some of the nation\u2019s most prestigious and renowned institutions of higher learning. Within the county are the institutions of Rowan University of New Jersey in Glassboro, Gloucester County College, and Gloucester County Institute of Technology \u2014 the latter two both located in Deptford. Rowan University captured the world’s attention as host of the historic summit conference between President Lyndon Johnson and Soviet Premier Aleksei Kosygin in 1967. This public university offers a graduate school and six academic colleges.<\/p>\n

Gloucester County residents can rely upon dedicated, highly trained professionals, state-of-the-art technology, and major hospitals for their healthcare needs.

Seasonal festivals, fairs, musical events, craft shows, and country-style celebrations add to the color and vitality of Gloucester\u2019s many municipalities.

Of the many undeveloped parcels of land, some are actually designated as open space in order to protect the spacious country feeling. The highest concentration of growth has occurred in sprawling townships such as Deptford, Monroe, and Wenonah, where moderately priced new developments harmonize with vintage structures from the colonial and Victorian architectural periods.<\/p>\n

Suburban areas offer attractive single-family homes and large multi-family complexes designed for easy living at all income levels. Touches of the past can still be found throughout the county, particularly in older establishments like Swedesboro and Mullica Hill, where brick-faced or mansard-roofed buildings mingle with colonials, Victorians, and beautiful older homes that span a number of architectural periods. Master-planned residential developments in the rapidly growing townships often feature attractive sports amenities and playgrounds for the exclusive use of area residents.<\/p>\n

Vast acres of scenic parks and wildlife management areas add to the allure of beautiful Gloucester County, expanding its recreational amenities to include well-stocked lakes and streams, boating areas, riding and nature trails, and picnic facilities. Local facilities in the many municipalities provide playgrounds, athletic fields, swimming pools, tennis courts, and golf courses.
