Life is looking up in Penns Grove
The Borough of Penns Grove offers its residents beautiful views of the Delaware River. Incorporated in 1894, the community was once a thriving resort until the New Jersey Turnpike diverted traffic from the area. It was also at one time the caviar capital of the world. Today, this small town, with a population of about 4,800, is peaceful and quiet. “Penns Grove is rural and secluded. Some people may say it is at the ends of the earth, but everyone I meet who lives there plans to stay. It is very family oriented,” says Jason Schatzberg, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty — Cherry Hill. Lisa Maxwell, a lifetime resident of Penns Grove agrees. “Everyone gets along really well. There is a real sense of community here. We have a great mayor and borough council who really care about Penns Grove. We have nowhere to go but up,” she says.
Penns Grove is a charming town situated right along the Delaware River.
Penns Grove's town slogan "Pride in Progress" is showcased on the sign as you enter the town.
