KNOW YOUR CITY
No. 5-THE EARLIEST FISHERMEN.

Hundreds of years age, before the white man first cut his way
through the junglelike swamp in this section to establish fishing
villages and iron foundries, the Red Man had for centuries known
the bays and shores of Atlantic County as excellent fishing
grounds. No permanent settlements were ever made, but the Leni
Lenape, a tribe of Delaware Indians, made regular trips to this
section from Pennsylvania and Northern New Jersey to catch
clans and oysters. After each haul, the ,sayages would bring
their hauls inland to high ground along the streams, where they
would establish a temporary camp and dispose of their fresh sea
food. This custom followed through the years, resulted in huge
shell heaps on the sites of these camps. ten to twenty feet high
and sometimes as much as o quarter mile Ions. These heaps may
be seen today along the Mullica river and even the smaller streams
which pass through this city.
