Still, however, firm in the binding. Bridgeton is located in Cumberland County in Southern New Jersey, on the Cohansy River near Delaware Bay. The town began its history as a fording place over the Cohansy River and when Richard Hancock established a sawmill there in 1686. One of New Jersey's first iron works was established here in 1814 and its location on the Cohansy and subsquent access to Delaware Bay made Bridgeton a viable center for commerce (especilly for agracultural good) in the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries.
