Description

City of Bridgeton, New Jersey, 1886.

This reproduction bird's-eye view of Bridgeton, New Jersey was published by O. H. Bailey & Co. in 1886. Bridgeton is the county seat of Cumberland County near the Delaware Bay lowlands. The tidal Cohansey River flows through town. Once a seasonal hunting and fishing region for Native Americans, the first Europeans settled here in the late 1600's with a sawmill built by Richard Hancock. A pioneer iron works was established in 1814 and in 1865 the township was incorporated as Bridgeton.

Bridgeton embraced industrialization following the American Civil War, housing several metal and machine works as well as glass-making and sewing factories. During this period Bridgeton was New Jersey's most prosperous town. In 1886 Bridgeton's Y. M. C. A. Ladies Auxiliary was formed to help with the town's library's operation. Later, in 1924, the Army Corp. of Engineers built extensive earthen dams along the Cohansey River to create a number of lakes and reservoirs, but in 1934, heavy rains swelled the lakes and burst the dams. The floodwaters surged right through town destroying much of it.
