Pomona Fruit Company was a partnership between AJ Ryder of Hammonton and George Gossler of Egg Harbor City in 1901. They owned 3 properties. Two in Burlington County and the other in Atlantic County or what is now known as Lake Fred. Look at present day "Pomona" area...

Oriental, Awesome report!

I have hiked and camped there many times. The camp sites have 3 tiers to them. Close to the water, between the low and high road, and above the high road. They stretch for 3 miles of shoreline. No picnic tables. Although, It's beautiful there, there is no real privacy between sites. In the...

Thanks for the information Spungman!

Reading p. 45-46. It sounds like Camden County slowly bought that farm land until 1925. It was in 1926 when the boundary was changed. My guess since the own it, they could claim it. It refers to the old and new Camden County Farm House. I do not know what that is. If you research that, it may...
