Hammonton is a town in Atlantic County, halfway between Philadelphia and Atlantic City. The town was settled in 1812 and has a population of around 13,500. Hammonton was a prominent stop on the Pennsylvania Railroad from Philadelphia to Atlantic City beause of its role in the agricultural industry in southern New Jersey. Because of the sandy soils of the Pine Barrens being prominent in the area, blueberries grow well in the wild, and the blueberry industry is the area's leading producer. As a result, Hammonton is known as the "Blueberry Capital of the World".
