Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning Services in Elmer, NJ

Elmer is a small borough in the eastern part of Salem County, New Jersey. Known as a “small town with a big welcome,” Elmer’s population is just under One thousand four hundred residents. This quiet community is bordered by Pittsgrove Township and Upper Pittsgrove Township and has a lake bearing the same name on its eastern border. Located just forty-five minutes from Wilmington, Delaware and an hour from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, this quaint little village is filled with beautiful architecture and historic homes.

Originally inhabited by the Lenni Lenape People, the area was called “Cohockan,” meaning “cedar swampland” in their native language. As a division of the Algonquin tribe, they used the land near the Delaware River for hunting and fishing, leading them to be known as “Delawares” by European settlers. Most of the tribe left the area to join the Iroquois in New York in 1801 after giving up most of their land. 

When the West Jersey Railroad line between Bridgeton and Woodbury opened in 1862, Elmer thrived as a transportation center. This lead to the opening of several mills, and two glass and shoe factories in the early 1900s. The railroad was also vital to the potato market in the area, making transport of the crops easy to reach the big cities and making use of the larger yields.

Most of Elmer sits on land that was once owned by David Hitchner, who purchased it from John Elwell, a blacksmith, and wheelwright. Hitchner’s children would later sell their land inheritance to the town’s residents after it became more densely populated.

Elmer was incorporated on January 28, 1893, and named after Lucius Elmer, a former judge who served as a congressman and aided in securing a post office for the community. Today, Elmer is a dry community where no alcohol can be sold. It is one of several in New Jersey, keeping with the founding moral code of the early settlers.
