By AMY GATTO
Township of Hamilton Mayor
Welcome to the Township of Hamilton.
Incorporated on Feb. 5, 1813, we are now cele-
brating our 200th birthday. At 116 square miles we
are proud to be the states largest municipality. The
historic village of Mays Landing, located within the
township, has also had the distinction of being the
county seat of Atlantic County since 1837.
Our 27,000 residents and visitors enjoy our
unique mix of rural forests, natural resources, bus-
tling suburbs and shopping areas and quaint Main
Street USAdowntown area.
Our origins are directly tied to the Great Egg
Harbor River and its tributaries. George May, after
whom the village of Mays Landing was named, built
a shipyard and trading post near Babcock Creek in
1756. By the mid 19th century the shipbuilding in-
dustry in Mays Landing reached its height.
From 1830 to 1880, more than 200 vessels were
built along the Great Egg Harbor River with lumber
from native forests and iron from Weymouth found-
ries. Half of them were produced at Mays Landing.
But by the end of century, wood shipbuilding began
to disappear due to the lack of suitable timber. Iron
was then substituted for hull construction.
Today, we are the home of the Oakcrest Fal-
cons, Atlantic Cape Community College, Atlantic
County Institute of Technology, Atlantic County
Justice Facility, Atlantic County Library, Hamilton
Mall, Hamilton Commons, Consumer Square, In-
dustrial Park, roadside farm markets, and locally
owned restaurants and shops.
We are a diverse mix of old families continuing
traditions here and of new residents and families
making new ones. There is something special
about our town. Having been born and raised here,
Im proud to serve the place I will always call home.
I hope you will visit, boat, walk, shop, eat, learn,
support, cheer and live in the Township of Hamilton
today and every day.
Mayor Amy Gatto

a four-story housing complex for seniors
65 and older. For the home buyer, we have
newly constructed, beautiful, single-family
houses at The Homes of Cedar Creek.
Our residents enjoy close, convenient
shopping on Main Street Philadelphia
Avenue and the White Horse Pike corridor.
In addition, Main Street is center stage for
hometown parades and events and hosts
a wide variety of shops, restaurants, and
niche businesses including Cup Cake Wars
champions, Simply Sweet, right next to the
Atlantic County Library.
Residents have the convenience of trash
removal, leaf pickup, street sweeping,
and city water and sewer. In addition,
they can always count on rapid responses
from our police department, volunteer fire

Driving through Hamilton Township along
the main access route of the Black Horse
Pike, one might think shopping centers
with big names and sprawling storefronts
dominate, but that is far from accurate. This
community of more than 26,000 manages to
blend big, national chain stores with individ-
ually owned shops and small businesses.
The Mays Landing Merchants Association
with 100 members has a motto; Businesses
supporting the community. And according
to the president of the association, John
Kurtz, owner of County Seat Florist at 5926
Main St. in Mays Landing, that motto has
allowed local merchants large and small to
thrive in Hamilton because the community
in turn supports the businesses that support
them.
When the community comes to the
different events that the businesses put
on, like the Hometown Celebration, the
Fall Festival, the recent Wine Festival at
Lake Lenape and the upcoming Dickens
of a Holiday, they know that it is the local
businesses that make it happen. In turn the
people support the local businesses; one
hand really washes the other. It really works
quite well, said Kurtz.
The Wine Festival at Lake Lenape was
the most recent success. Kurtz said that
while it is somewhat different than other
events throughout the year and they sold
tickets, it was a great event.
We change things a bit each year. This
was the third year and we added a wine
garden after getting approval from the
state. People could come in and sit down
and open a bottle of wine they had just
purchased and enjoy it and cheeses that
were complimentary; it really worked well.
The weather was beautiful and sitting and
enjoying a glass of wine looking over Lake
Lenape with the leaves changing was really
very nice.
Kurtz said the feedback he has heard
since the event has been very good.
Businesses large and small are mem-
bers of the Merchants Association. Kurtz
said smaller merchants belong as well as
restaurants in the mall and even Walmart is
a member of the group.
When members make a contribution
toward one of the events and their sign is
there, it lets people know who has sup-
ported their community event, and we feel
that is what allows us to all be successful,
because we do get that support from our
community, Kurtz said.
The next big event on the calendar is the
Dickens of a Holiday scheduled for Satur-
day, Dec. 7. Its a full day of events.
The day will begin with a breakfast with
Santa starting at 8 at the Masonic Lodge.
There will be three craft fairs going on;
outdoors at the park and indoors at the
Presbyterian Church and the library.
Santa will return to the park where kids
will have a chance to visit with him and take
pictures. There is a snowball toss for the
kids where they have to throw snowballs
through a big snowman. Kurtz said all of the
funds raised go to support the local food
pantry. There will also be a train ride around
the court house.
Kurtz said all of the members step up and
do sponsorships for the events and there is
a sign to designate who the sponsor is. Its
just an awareness that works well for us.

Township local businesses see www.mays-

tian-based education to area students from
pre-kindergarten through eighth grade.
Located at 5809 Main St. in Mays Land-
ing, St. Vincent de Paul educates students
in pre-kindergarten through eighth grade
in a rigorous academic environment and
focuses on strengthening community spirit
and through Catholic tradition. Established
in 1961, the school is founded on a Roman
Catholic education and is the only private
school located within Hamilton Township.
St. Vincent de Paul encourages a family
atmosphere and small class sizes that
promote personalized learning. The school
promotes a buddy system where eighth-
grade students look out for youngsters
and parents keep an eye on each others
children.
Led by Principal Linda Pirolli, the school

cational foundation and to teach children
to think critically and give them the tools to
better their community.
The school curriculum includes Singapore

writing and grammar and are grouped for
reading classes by education level.
Technology is also a major component
to the school curriculum. Teachers in every
classroom utilize smart boards, students
in sixth grade use iPads and netbooks are
available to students in seventh and eighth
grades.
Outside of the classroom, students can
participate in basketball, track, soccer,
drama club, student council, yearbook com-
mittee, cheerleading, cross country, choir,
chess club and elective courses such as
cooking and ceramics.
The school draws from the parishes of St.
Vincent de Paul in Mays Landing, St. Katha-
rine Drexel in Egg Harbor Township and St.
Gianna Beretta Molla in Northfield.
The school also provides full-day and
part-time pre-kindergarten for children 3 and

vides daily academic programming that is

bathroom independent children is $465 per

Cedar Creek High School opened its doors for the first time Sept.
7, 2010 and is now a comprehensive 9- 12 high school. It serves
students from the six communities within the Greater Egg Harbor
Regional High School District.
Cedar Creek is located on 66 acres in Egg Harbor City, minutes
from both the Atlantic City Expressway and public transportation
services. The approximately 860 students that make up the di-
verse student population allow the school to offer varied academic
and elective programs, while still promoting a community atmo-
sphere where students and staff can build meaningful, productive
relationships.
Cedar Creek is also home to two magnet programs open to all
students residing in the Greater Egg Harbor Regional High School
District. These programs allow students to begin preparing for col-
lege study and professional careers while still in high school.
Cedar Creeks engineering magnet is run in conjunction with
nationally recognized Project Lead the Way (PLTW), currently in
operation in 50 states. The combination of traditional math and

The Atlantic County Institute of Technology,
located in the Hamilton Township Business Park,
is a school of choice for students throughout
Atlantic County. And an ever increasing number
of students are taking advantage of the oppor-
tunities the school has to offer.
The former Atlantic County Vocational
Technical School, or Vo-Tech, first opened
its doors in 1974, offering vocational pro-
grams that led directly to careers in special-
ized vocations. Students attended part-time
and spent the other part of their day at their
home high school. In 2000, the school began
to offer full-time academy programs, the first
of which was the Academy of Culinary Arts
and Hospitality Management.
The following year saw the opening of the
Academy of Information Technology, with a
Health Science and Medicine Academy right
behind. The most recent academy to open
was Math, Engineering and Science. And
there are more to come.
Next year, the school will offer an Aero-
space and Science Academy as well as an
Air Force Junior ROTC program. A Perform-
ing Arts Academy is also planned that will in-
clude such components as technical theater,
drama, video production and vocal.
Last year, the school also began compet-
ing in interscholastic sports. The Red Hawks
compete against other schools in basketball,
soccer, cross country, baseball, softball, track,
bowling and cheerleading. A number of orga-
nizations are also available for participation
by the students. In fact, more than 25 percent
of the students stay after school each day to
participate in sports or other extracurricular
activities.
Thanks to a building project supported by
the county government, the school has nearly
doubled in size and added a state-of-the-art
performing arts center, gymnasium and many
new classrooms and laboratories. In the last
decade, student enrollment has nearly tripled
to more than 1,100 full-time students.
To learn more about the opportunities at
ACIT, all offered tuition-free, see the schools

The Latino Club of Egg Harbor City was formed three years ago
to bring together the different Latino cultures with neighbors and
the rest of the community, to celebrate their differences and their
sameness.
It began in 2011 with the clubs first parade and street fair; this
year the Latino Club of Egg Harbor City celebrated its third parade
and street fair. It was a huge success with great food, wonderful
Latin music, a big parade, and the community coming together and
dancing in the street.
A strong core of members works together planning events in the
city. One of the biggest is Three Kings Day in early January. They
give presents to children at city hall, then in the evening there is
a fundraiser dinner with great food and music at the union hall on
Philadelphia Avenue.
There are also various fundraising dinners and Chinese auctions.
One of the clubs biggest successes was raising more than $4,000
for Little Eddie Rodriguez, who needed a new insulin pump. The
Latino Club also recently collected money for the American Cancer
Foundation.
The club meets Wednesday evenings at 6:30 at the Egg Harbor
City municipal building. It welcomes new members who are willing
to work together to bring the Latino culture and traditions to Egg
Harbor City residents, and have a good time doing it.
President is Dennis Munoz, president, (609) 839-3840; vice
president is Hazel Mueller, (609) 703-4288. You can also find them

Atlantic County was carved from Gloucester
County in February 1837 with boundaries that
have remained substantially the same to date. The
county seat was established in Mays Landing in
1837 and a court house was constructed a year
later.
7KH UVW %RDUG RI &KRVHQ )UHHKROGHUV ZDV
formed in 1837 in Mays Landing with representa-
tives from four townships Galloway, Egg Harbor,
Hamilton and Weymouth. As more townships and
municipalities came into being, the board grew
to its largest membership of 35 in 1966. In 1967,
the state Legislature reduced the board to seven
representatives. It remained at that size until 1975
when the new County Charter was implemented.
Atlantic County currently includes 23 munic-
ipalities and covers nearly 567 square miles.
Hamilton Township was incorporated in 1813 and
is the largest municipality in size in Atlantic County

Hamilton Township and Egg Harbor City both
have American Legion and Veterans of Foreign
War Posts. In addition the township has a Vet-
erans Advisory Board that reports to the gov-
erning body.
Veterans Advisory Board
Were an adjunct committee, said Russell
Bongiavanni, chairman of the Veterans Advi-
sory Board. We do Memorial Day and Veter-
ans Day ceremonies we present them for the
township.
He said that while the board cant directly
help veterans in need, it knows who can and
how to connect them.
We know where a veteran can get help, he
said. Were not a formal organization, but when

Pathway to engineering courses engage high school students
through a combination of activities-based, project-based, and
problem-based learning. This approach encourages students to de-
velop skills that will also assist them in other rigorous courses and
programs, such as honors and Advanced Placement.
As a PLTW fully accredited institution, students who complete the
junior and senior level courses can purchase transcripts from a number
of colleges and universities nationwide and earn college credit while still
enrolled in high school.
The second magnet program is environmental science which offers

college level or similar careers an opportunity to begin advanced course
work during their high school years.
Coursework is designed through a collaborative effort with Stockton
College within its Environmental Science School. The curriculum will not
replace any of the traditional science courses offered, but serve to deepen
a students knowledge and understanding in a parallel, focused approach.
Through a dual-enrollment program established with Stockton College,
students may earn college credit for the junior and senior level environ-
mental science courses while still enrolled in Cedar Creek High School.
In addition to the magnet program courses, Cedar Creek High School
also offers students the opportunity to take eight of its current courses
for college credit while still enrolled in high school through its dual credit
program with the Richard Stockton College of New Jersey and Atlantic
Cape Community College.

The Township of Hamilton Historical
Society was founded in 1993 and is now
celebrating its 20-year anniversary as the
custodian of an ever-growing archive of
items related to the townships people,
government, industry, education, recreation,
and community life. Its headquarters is the
Little Red Schoolhouse Museum and Library
at 49 Mill St., Mays landing.
The society, a tax-exempt organization,
provides school programs and presenta-
tions to other groups, sponsors a Ghost
Walk, Christmas Walk and a Speakers
Series, each focusing on aspects of local
history.
In addition to the walks, its fund-raising
activities include the Old Time Market and
Art in the Park in Memorial Park, Main St.,
Mays Landing; an Antique Appraisal Night,
a hoagie sale, and a Holiday Craft Fair.
Its collections include maps, artifacts
from Native Americans, products made by
local businesses, maps of the area, and a
library of regional interest.
Each year the society publishes a year-
book whose recent articles have included
a history of Oakcrest High School and the
story of the millstone in Memorial Park,
Main St. Mays Landing. The society also
produced Memories of Mays Landing, a
DVD of two movies from 1929 and 1941
along with historical photos. The society
developed a timeline of the history of Hamil-
ton Township for its 200 anniversary in 2013.
The society meets the fourth Wednesday
evening of the month at the Museum-Library
on 49 Mill St., Mays Landing. The Museum-Li-
brary is open Thursday evenings from 6 to 9
p.m.
Phone is (609) 909-0272. The website is
www.hamiltonhistorical.com.
Township history
Settlements within the area we know now as
Hamilton Township date from the early 1700s.
These settlements were in places like Mays
landing, Weymouth, Postville, and Catawba.
The area was desirable because of the
Great Egg Harbor River, which was valuable
as source to transport goods like those from
the furnace at Weymouth. Early industry also
included shipbuilding and making charcoal.
The Township of Hamilton was created in
1813 in what was then Gloucester County.
The bulk of townships area came from Egg
Harbor Township and a small portion from
Weymouth Township. When Atlantic County
was created in 1837, Mays Landing became
the county seat. At 115 square miles, Hamil-
ton is the largest municipality by area in New
Jersey.
The population was 877 in 1820; 1692 in
1900; and 26,500 in 2013.
The Great Egg Harbor River was dammed
in 1846 to create Lake Lenape. Railroads
came to the area in 1870 and 1880; phone
service in 1902.
The opening of the Hamilton Mall in 1987
was the beginning of the township as a region-
al shopping area that now has over 3 million
square feet of retail space.
The township is home to elementary and
middle schools, Oakcrest High School, the
Atlantic County Institute of Technology, the
Special Services School District, and Atlantic
Cape Community College.
Town Hall at Route 50 and 13th St. was
dedicated in 1992. Amy Gatto serves as
mayor for 2013.
