As of the 2010 United States Census, the borough's population was 6,097,〔〔〔 reflecting a decline of 63 (-1.0%) from the 6,160 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn declined by 417 (-6.3%) from the 6,577 counted in the 1990 Census.〔(Table 7. Population for the Counties and Municipalities in New Jersey: 1990, 2000 and 2010 ), New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development, February 2011. Accessed November 7, 2012.〕 Paulsboro was formed as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 2, 1904, from portions of Greenwich Township.〔Snyder, John P. (''The Story of New Jersey's Civil Boundaries: 1606-1968'' ), Bureau of Geology and Topography; Trenton, New Jersey; 1969. p. 140. Accessed October 23, 2012.〕〔Honeyman, Abraham Van Doren.

Accessed September 16, 2015.〕 ==History== Paulsboro is the home of Fort Billingsport, the first land purchase made by the United States, acquired the day after the signing of the United States Declaration of Independence.〔Colimore, Edward. ("Fighting to save remains of a fort Paulsboro is home to a key military installation from the Revolutionary War." ), ''The Philadelphia Inquirer'', December 10, 2007. Accessed September 16, 2015. "Identified on a British map 230 years ago as a "rebel fort," the site was the nation's first federal land purchase, made the day after the Declaration of Independence."〕 Paulsboro is the location of the Tinicum Island Rear Range Lighthouse, first lit on the night of December 31, 1880. In 1997 a local citizen's group was established with the purpose of providing tours and public access to the structure. The lighthouse is one of New Jersey's few publicly accessible aids to navigation and is the centerpiece of Paulsboro's cultural revitalization.〔Roncace, Kelly. ("Inland lighthouses such as Tinicum, Finns Point and East Point guide sailors through rivers and bays" ), ''Gloucester County Times'', July 22, 2012. Accessed November 7, 2012. "Many miles north of the Delaware Bay on the coast of the Delaware River in Paulsboro is the Tinicum Rear Range Lighthouse. First illuminated on New Year’s Eve in 1880, this 85-foot, cast iron, skeletal structure, works in conjunction with the Tinicum Front Range Light, also referred to as the Billingsport Front Light."〕 The East Jefferson Street railroad bridge over Mantua Creek was built in 1917 and rebuilt in 1940 for the Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines (PRSL). It is now part of Conrail's Penns Grove Secondary. On November 30, 2012 it buckled, causing seven cars of a freight train to derail. One of the four tanker cars that fell into the creek was punctured, leaking thousands of gallons of vinyl chloride. Homes in the borough had to be evacuated and dozens of people went to hospitals as a precautionary measure due to exposure to the chemicals.〔Warner, Dave, via Reuters. ("New Jersey bridge collapse derails freight train; chemical leaks" ), ''Chicago Tribune'', November 30, 2012. Accessed December 1, 2012.〕 Some residents in the area have filed suit against Conrail and CSX in Pennsylvania State Court having "complained about respiratory and bronchial related illnesses, headaches, eye and skin irritations and multiple other symptoms."〔("Press Release - Paulsboro Residents file Lawsuit Against Conrail and CSX for Damages Related to Hazardous Chemical Accident" ), December 11, 2012. Accessed December 20, 2012〕 In March 2013, Conrail announced that the bridge would be replaced with an expected September 2014 operational date. Normally, between March 1 and November 30 the bridge is left in the open position for maritime traffic and closed when trains approach.〔 It will remain locked in the closed position until the bridge is replaced. In September 2013, another less serious derailment took place along the Paulsboro Gibbstown border, with one car leaving the tracks on a train consisting mostly of empty tanker cars.〔Forand, Rebecca. ("Train derailment near scene of Paulsboro crash raises fears, calls for regulations" ), ''South Jersey Times'', September 16, 2013. Accessed October 31, 2013. "Less than a mile from where a train derailed and spilled a dangerous chemical into the air last November, a second train derailed Monday, reiterating calls for greater rail industry safety and regulations."〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Paulsboro, New Jersey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
