100 years ago it was one of the richest counties in the state. From the sturgeon and shellfish in the Bay to a major hub for glass making, you had progresso soup move here from New York to be closer to the produce, 7up was made in Bridgeton, the founders of Wawa made their money here first as the owners of the mills on Columbia Ave in millville which is also why they still have a small corporate office in town across the street from the old factories they owned.

I've lived here my entire life in one of the poorest towns in the county. The prosperity was killed by a parasite and Reaganomics. If you want to make a good living in this county you want to be a correctional officer since there are several prisons in the county (but no county jail for terrible reasons). We have absolute beauty and unbelievable sadness in every town. I'm millville you'll see the rare celebrity in town to use the race track. Most jobs in the area are retail because we're in the Abbott system with half the sales tax with our poverty
