==History==
This area was long primarily agricultural. Penns Grove was incorporated as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 8, 1894, from portions of Upper Penns Neck Township (now Carneys Point Township), based on the results of a referendum held two days earlier.〔Snyder, John P. (''The Story of New Jersey's Civil Boundaries: 1606-1968'' ), Bureau of Geology and Topography; Trenton, New Jersey; 1969. p. 216. Accessed April 17, 2012.〕 It began to industrialize around this time. The borough's name comes from William Penn.〔Hutchinson, Viola L. (''The Origin of New Jersey Place Names'' ), New Jersey Public Library Commission, May 1945. Accessed September 16, 2015.〕〔(Penns Grove, NJ ), DiscoverSalemCounty.com. Accessed September 17, 2015. "ohn Fenwick and William Penn later owned this land, the town was later named in honor of William Penn."〕
In the early 20th century, many Italian immigrants from Valle San Giovanni and the surrounding southern province of Teramo came to work at the local E.I. DuPont de Nemours plant in Carneys Point. Many settled on Pitman Street in Penns Grove. In 1925, the Italian community arranged to commission a copy of the statue of the Madonna and Child from the Chiesa della Madonna delle Grazie in Teramo, and had it installed in the Saint James Roman Catholic Church in Penns Grove.〔(Relationship of Valle San Giovanni & Penns Grove, NJ ), Valle San Giovanni. Accessed October 31, 2013.〕 Other immigrants from eastern Europe also settled in the county, markedly increasing the population.
Also in the 20th century, this area became a destination for African Americans in the Great Migration who came north for industrial jobs. Some African Americans in the area were descended from slave families from the colonial and early federal period. Since the late 20th century, new immigrants have arrived from Central and South America, and are among the rising Hispanic/Latino minority.
