About Hammonton, New Jersey

Hammonton is a town of 14,711 people in Atlantic County, almost exactly halfway between Philadelphia and Atlantic City. William Coffin brought his family here in 1812 to run a sawmill for John R. Coates near Hammonton Lake, and two years later he bought the mill and its land. In 1817 he opened a glass factory that used cheap local timber and bog iron, and he shipped its glass down the Mullica River. The settlement was called Hammondton after his son, John Hammond Coffin, and over time the d dropped out of the name.

Farming slowly replaced glassmaking, and in 1854 the Camden and Atlantic Railroad passed just west of the old settlement. Two years later Charles K. Landis, a developer, teamed up with Richard Byrnes, a banker from Philadelphia, to form Landis & Byrnes. They bought big tracts near the tracks and sold them off in smaller lots, which pulled the town toward the railway, where a station opened in 1858. The partners split in 1861, and Landis left to establish Vineland and Sea Isle City while Byrnes stayed. Hammonton broke away from Hamilton and Mullica townships and became a town on March 5, 1866, with 1,422 people.

  • Letters home to GessoSalvador Calabrasce came from Italy, served in the Union Navy and moved to Hammonton after he married a New Jersey woman. He kept writing to friends back in Gesso, Sicily, and his letters drew more Italian families to town. Through his work and that of others, Italian-Americans grew into a large share of Hammonton's people.
  • A wooden speedwayThe Atlantic City Speedway, a wooden track with its own rail connection, held races in Hammonton from 1926 to 1928. Its owners hoped to rival the big tracks of the day but could not keep it going. Studebaker then used it as a test track until 1933, and after it was torn down its timber went into other buildings.
  • Blueberry Capital of the WorldThe sandy soil of the Pine Barrens suits blueberries, and Hammonton has been called the Blueberry Capital of the World. Strawberries were an early crop here too. The town held its first Hammonton Blueberry Festival in 1953, and in 1987 it added a second celebration, the Red, White and Blueberry Festival.
  • The Blueberries that never playedIn 1997 Gabriel Donio, who founded and published The Hammonton Gazette, proposed a minor-league team called the Hammonton Blueberries. He had a logo and a prototype uniform made and paid $200,000 for a 20-acre tract, planning a 3,500-seat ballpark there. In 1999 the Northern League said Hammonton would join a six-team developmental circuit, but that never happened, the ballpark was never built, and the Blueberries were finished.
