First sentence: The New Jersey Legislature granted the town of Camden a charter of incorporation in 1828, but the chain of events leading to that charter began in 1681, when William Cooper arrived near the spot where the Quondam Creek (later called Cooper's Creek, and as of 1911, called Cooper River) flows into the Delaware River.
