Woodbury

Town and administrative headquarters of Gloucester County, southwest New Jersey; population (1990) 10,900. It is located 13 km/8 mi southwest of Camden, near the Delaware River. Woodbury is primarily a residential suburb of Camden and Philadelphia. Located in a truck and dairy farming area, the town is also an agricultural distribution centre. Manufactures include cement blocks, clothing, and electrical parts. A cultural hub, Woodbury has a symphony orchestra and various arts groups.

The Quaker Wood family settled it in the 1680s. In spite of Quaker attempts to keep it neutral, it became an important centre during the American Revolution, serving as headquarters for both the British (1777) and Americans (1779).
