Accessed January 20, 2013.〕 Woodbury was originally formed as a borough on March 27, 1854, within Deptford Township, based on the results of a referendum held on March 22, 1854. On January 2, 1871, Woodbury was reincorporated as a city, based on the results of a referendum held that day.〔Snyder, John P.

Accessed November 12, 2013.〕 The now-defunct Woodbury Country Club operated in Woodbury from 1897 to 2010, closing due to declining membership and mounting debt that led to a bankruptcy filing by the club.〔Conaboy, Chelsea. ("Plan would put houses on defunct Woodbury Country Club" ), ''The Philadelphia Inquirer'', August 23, 2010. Accessed November 12, 2013. "The country club, which was founded in 1897, filed for bankruptcy last summer, citing about $2.88 million in debt, then closed in October. Membership had been declining for years and couldn't support debt from a 1991 renovation."〕 ==History== As recounted by the historian William McMahon, the Native Americans called the place where the city of Woodbury was to be founded, "Piscozackasing", or, 'place of the black burrs'. Woodbury was founded in 1683 by Henry Wood, a Quaker from the Northwest of England, who had left Great Britain due to religious persecution. Wood was incarcerated in Lancaster gaol for practicing as a Quaker and left his home in the village of Tottington, near Bury, Lancashire, in a boat to set up a community in the new world where he and his family could practice his religion freely. His surname and his home town went to make up the name of the city he founded – Woodbury.〔Samuels, Tanyanika. ("Following Woodbury's Founder Henry Wood Fled Persecution. Another Wants To Recreate His Journey." ), ''The Philadelphia Inquirer'', June 23, 1998. Accessed July 9, 2012. "At the age of 80, after years of being jailed and harassed by British authorities for his Quaker beliefs, Henry Wood fled with his son to America and founded the city of Woodbury.... Wood's voyage in 1682 started in Bury, England and ended along the Delaware River."〕〔Hutchinson, Viola L. (''The Origin of New Jersey Place Names'' ), New Jersey Public Library Commission, May 1945.

Accessed November 4, 2015.〕 In 2000, the Borough of Bury, England, and the City of Woodbury were twinned as part of millennium celebrations in both countries. The twinning ceremony was the culmination of a week where more than 300 school children and college students, local dignitaries and local residents from Bury took part in sporting and cultural events held in and around Woodbury with local people. During the week there was a symbolic meeting and reconciliation of the Vicar of Henry Wood's former church in Tottington and the Quaker's meeting house in Woodbury and an ecumenical service attended by many of the residents and visitors.〔Staff.
