Clementon
Nestled inconspicuously less than 20 miles east of Philadelphia, the village of Clementon once bore all the markings of an early-20th-century county seat: mills, lumberyards, a thriving charcoal industry, waterworks, locomotive access, and entrepreneurial residents. Incorporated as a borough in 1925, the town�s abundant lakes and the allure of Clementon Lake Park quickly elevated Clementon�s status to a popular recreational hotspot. Vacationers and residents alike recall traffic at the town�s small intersections on Sunday nights as Depression-era amusement seekers headed home from weekends spent diving, boating, and picnicking. Declared �the busiest little town in South Jersey� in an early promotional film, Clementon remains etched in collective memories as a mecca of busyness and merriment.
