Bordentown Revisited highlights the memorable growth of an area located at the kink of the Delaware River. The city of Bordentown and neighboring Fieldsboro share a stretch of riverfront, and that waterfront location brought them great prosperity during the industrial years. The rural township traded its agricultural occupation for housing development. Then, as old paths and byways became streets and highways, businesses, motels, and restaurants emerged along the roadside.

Bordentown

By: Arlene S. Bice and Patricia DeSantis

Bordentown, New Jersey, is located at the confluence of the Delaware River, Blacks Creek, and Crosswicks Creek. The town sits on a high bluff northeast of Philadelphia. Bordentown has always been an accessible crossroads, first by water and train and presently by car and light rail. The community was a railroading town and had a successful boating industry. It eventually transitioned into a factory town, supporting such businesses as Eagle Shirt Factory, Ocean Spray Cranberries, and Springfield Worsted Mills. Motels, drive-ins, and diners sprang up along the highway as halfway stops from northeast to southwest Jersey. The New Jersey Turnpike brought tourists and visitors, who frequented the locally owned restaurants, shops, and galleries. Bordentown showcases the rich industrial and community history of this Burlington County town.

New Egypt and Plumsted Township

By: Arlene S. Bice

New Egypt and Plumsted Township is a collection of unique vintage photographs, many of which have never before been published. Beginning with Quaker Clement Plumstead of London, who was granted twenty-seven hundred acres in 1699, this history shows the progression of the township to the mid-1900s. At the end of the nineteenth century, railroad transportation brought visitors to New Egypt, which blossomed with hotels, guesthouses, the Isis Theatre, and carnivals on Oakford Lake. Among the images are views of Harker's Grove, a favorite spot for picnics and dancing on the pavilion; Sunday concerts held by local talent in New Egypt; and the open space that has made hunting, fishing, and other outdoor activities popular pastimes for locals and visitors alike.

Bordentown

By: Arlene S. Bice

Originally known as Farnsworth's Landing, Bordentown was settled in 1682 by Quaker Thomas Farnsworth. A natural hub of transportation for its key location on the Delaware River between Philadelphia and New York City, Bordentown flourished in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Internationally known artists, writers, and inventors called Bordentown home; industry thrived; and many private schools, including Bordentown Military Institute, were highly rated. As residents do today, the people of early Bordentown took great pride in their city. With some two hundred vintage photographs, Bordentown explores the city and its fascinating people from the mid-1800s to the mid-1900s. Thomas Paine, the father of the American Revolution, considered Bordentown his home, as did Francis Hopkinson, designer of the American flag and signer of the Declaration of Independence. The John Bull steam engine was shipped from England and assembled in Bordentown by Isaac Dripps. Joseph Bonaparte, brother of Napoleon, lived happily at Point Breeze, his estate in Bordentown. These stories, along with many others, are portrayed by the well-preserved historical photographs and informative text of this volume.
