Paulsboro

Paulsboro is an administrative borough along the Delaware River in Gloucester County, New Jersey, stretching across several miles of riverfront territory. The town combines residential areas with significant industrial facilities, particularly port infrastructure for cargo operations.

The borough was established in 1904 and named after Samuel Phillip Paul, whose family settled in the area. The location soon grew into a center for trade and industrial activity along the river.

The waterfront keeps maritime connections alive through ongoing harbor operations that define daily life here. Local commerce centers around this relationship with the river and industrial work.

The borough provides public schools and basic services for residents and visitors. Warmer months offer the best conditions for exploring, and the riverside paths provide good opportunities for walks and sightseeing.

Fort Billingsport stands here as a marker of early American history and national significance. The site represents one of the first places where the newly formed government acquired land.
