Salem County, New Jersey
.Salem County, located in the southwestern part of the great state of New Jersey, was formed on July 3, 1664, as one of the first four counties in the English Province of East Jersey. The county was named after the Biblical town of Salem, which means peaceful in Old Canaanite. The area is part of the Delaware Valley region, with the Delaware River creating a natural western boundary.
Before the arrival of European settlers, the area was home to the Lenni Lenape people. The first European settlers in the region were primarily Quakers and English, who established settlements and agricultural communities in the 17th century. The town of Salem was founded in 1675 by John Fenwick, a British Quaker, who sought to create a haven for his fellow Quakers in the New World. The establishment of agriculture, alongside a thriving maritime industry and local glass manufacturing, provided the foundations for the county's early economy.
Over the years, Salem County played an important role in the Revolutionary War. The town of Greenwich, for instance, was the site of the Greenwich Tea Party in 1774, a similar protest to the more renowned Boston Tea Party. Besides, several skirmishes and raids took place in the county, including the Hancock House Massacre in 1778.
Today, the county retains much of its historical character, featuring numerous historic sites and buildings, such as the Salem County Courthouse. This courthouse, constructed in 1735 and still in use, is considered the oldest active courthouse in New Jersey and the second oldest in the United States.
A fun fact about Salem County is that it is home to the famous Cowtown Rodeo, which was first held in 1929. The rodeo is the oldest weekly running rodeo in the United States, drawing crowds to witness traditional Western rodeo events, including bull riding and barrel racing.
In summary, Salem County, one of the four original counties in New Jersey, has a rich historical background that spans from Lenni Lenape inhabitants to European settlements, and from the Revolutionary War to hosting the oldest weekly rodeo in the country.
