Description: Paulsboro, NJ is a pictorial account of a Delaware River community that evolved from an agriculture and shad-fishing center to an industrial town with developing oil companies. Once known as Crown Point, Paulsboro was named after colonist Philip Paul, who settled in this area in 1685. It is the home of Fort Billings, which became the nation's first federal land purchase on July 5, 1776, and of the famed Tinicum Lighthouse.Author BiographyIn honor of Paulsboro's one hundredth anniversary as a borough, James R. Pratz and Violet J. Valentin selected some two hundred vintage images from the vast collection of the historical museum at the Gill Memorial Library. Both longtime employees of the library, the authors are local residents, organizers of the annual Paulsboro Day History Exhibit, and members of the Gloucester County Historical Society. Has name whited out on first page Please ask questions before bidding and when in doubt don't buy from me because I am not a large company making thousands, just someone trying to make ends meet while helping to reduce, recycle and reuse - the way it has to be here in USA for most of us to survive. Thank you:) We are a smoke free home. We do have a cat, but she is not allowed to wear our clothes or play with our toys & things. For pre-owned clothing - We wash our children's clothes in cold water top quality detergent & fabric softener. Most of our children's clothes do NOT go in the dryer.

If for any reason you are having trouble making payment please contact me. I am easy to work with as long as there is communication.
