CAMDEN NEW JERSEY, Market and Third, Street Scene, Street Car Tracks, UDB 1907

Description: Camden, a city and the county seat of Camden County, New Jersey, located directly across the Delaware River from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. At the 2010 U.S. Census, the city had a population of 77,344 In 1626, Fort Nassau was established by the Dutch West India Company in the area that is now known as Camden. Europeans settled along the Delaware River, attempting to control the local fur trade. Throughout the 17th century more Europeans arrived in the area, developing it and making improvements. After the restoration period the land was controlled by nobles who served under King Charles II. ln 1673, the land was sold off to a group of New Jersey Quakers and for over 150 years, Camden served as a secondary economic and transportation hub for the Philadelphia area. However, that status began to change in the early 19th century. Camden was incorporated as a city in 1828, deriving its name from Charles Pratt, 1st Earl Camden. Two years later one of the U.S.'s first railroads, the Camden and Amboy Railroad, was chartered in Camden in 1830 and opened in 1934, spurring an increase in population and commerce in Camden. The Railroad allowed the public to travel between New York City and Philadelphia via ferry terminals in South Amboy and Camden. The railroad terminated on the Camden waterfront, and passengers were ferried across the Delaware River to their final Philadelphia destination. .
