As of the 2010 United States Census, the borough's population was 2,584,〔〔〔 reflecting an increase of 529 (+25.7%) from the 2,055 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 31 (+1.5%) from the 2,024 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 8, 2012.〕 Swedesboro was formed as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on April 9, 1902, from portions of Woolwich Township.〔Snyder, John P.

Accessed January 26, 2012.〕 ==History== Swedesboro was settled as part of New Sweden in the mid-1600s. The early Swedes and Finns were fishermen, hunters and farmers. The English Colonial government needed a road between the communities of Burlingtown and Salem, so they built the Kings Highway in 1691 which opened the southern portion of Gloucester County to more settlers, who were drawn to the area by the fertile sandy soil, prime farmland and vast tracts of oak, birch, maple and pine trees. Originally, the community was called Raccoon, until the name was changed to Swedesboro in 1765.〔Burns, John F. ("Town Prepares For a Royal Visit; Swedesboro Is Preparing For a Royal Visit on April 8" ), ''The New York Times'', February 29, 1976. Accessed July 29, 2013. "Communications enthusiasts that they are, the young Landwehrs are evidently not tuned in to the talk of Swedesboro, which is alive these days with discussion of the forthcoming visit of Carl XVI Gustaf, the 29-year-old bachelor who is King of Sweden.... Known to its founders as Raccoon, Swedesboro had its beginnings in a cluster of log cabins that the first Swedish settlers in America built only 20 years after the first Pilgrims arrived at Plymouth Rock."〕 Swedesboro, along with Bridgeport, was one of only two settlements established in New Jersey as a part of the New Sweden colony. The oldest extant log cabin in the United States, the Nothnagle Log Cabin (ca. 1640) was built by Antti Niilonpoika (Anthony Neilson/Nelson) in Swedesboro.〔Staff. ("Log cabin in Greenwich may be oldest in country" ), ''Courier-Post'', February 23, 2000. Accessed January 26, 2012. "The Nothnagle log cabin in Greenwich, Gloucester County, is believed to be the oldest log cabin in the United States."〕 It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, as is Trinity Episcopal "Old Swedes" Church, which was established as a Swedish Lutheran Church in 1703; the present building dates to 1784.〔(NEW JERSEY - Gloucester County ), National Register of Historic Places. Accessed January 26, 2012.〕 Trinity Church Cemetery is the burial place of Governor of New Jersey Charles C. Stratton and Congressman Benjamin Franklin Howey, among other notable interees.〔“The Swedes and Finns in New Jersey” (Federal Writers' Project of WPA. Bayonne, New Jersey: Jersey Printing Company, Inc. 1938)〕 Through the late 1800s, Raccoon Creek was a water route that was naturally deep enough to transport wood and farming projects to Philadelphia by the Delaware River. Carl XVI Gustaf, King of Sweden, visited the borough as part of a 1976 tour of the United States.〔 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「Swedesboro, New Jersey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
