We steam rapidly on to
Hammonton, about thirty miles from Philadelphia (half way on the
route) and the liveliest looking town on this part of the road.
— Walt Whitman - Camden Daily
Post - January 29, 1879
There’s something about the town of Hammonton. It’s a real
community, where people come together to share so much: family,
friends, work and faith. Hammonton is a place where three – and
sometimes four – generations of the same family call home,
evidence of the lure of this great town.
On any street, you’ll see immaculately kept homes and businesses
that show our local homeowners’ pride. Hammonton’s business
community is solid, thriving and expanding. Two local school
districts, one public and one private, are the jewels of the town.
From the shores of the Hammonton Lake, to the wide-open fields of
our local agricultural community, to the pine and oak forests that
make up the northern section of our town, Hammonton is a place of
great natural beauty.
Now, united under the banner of a new town flag, Hammontonians are
coming together as never before to create a 21st century Hammonton
that brings the best of the past together with the new ideas of
tomorrow.
Longtime residents, new arrivals and local citizens of all ages
are changing our town for the better. The future looks bright for
Hammonton, and it’s right around the corner. |
