Historic Map - Woodbury, NJ - 1886
Description
Reproduction panoramic view of Woodbury, New Jersey drawn and published by O. H. Bailey & Co. in 1886. Quaker Henry Wood of Bury, England settled in what would later be called Woodbury in 1683. On October 22, 1777 during the Revolutionary War, the battle of Red Bank was fought nearby and many of the wounded Hessians were brought to Woodbury and the town's brick school house was used as a treatment facility. Many of the soldiers died and were buried in the north part of the school grounds. The location came to be known as Burying Ground. During that winter Woodbury was occupied by five thousand British troops led by Lord Cornwallis. During the occupation troops pried open doors and cupboards raiding the town of provisions.
The City of Woodbury was incorporated in 1854 and in the latter half of the 1800s prospered greatly, in part, due to the Green family and their patent medicine industry.
The map of Woodbury from 1886 includes streets, buildings and railroad line. It features inset illustrations of the following:
