The southern New Jersey and Pennsylvania border area was primarily settled by a mix of European immigrants, including Quakers, who were drawn to the region for its religious freedom and fertile land. In the 17th century, the land was initially explored and claimed by the Dutch, but it later came under English control. The settlement patterns were influenced by the establishment of towns and farming communities, with a significant presence of German and Swedish settlers as well. This diverse mix of cultures contributed to the area's development and character.
