The story

from WikipediaRead it all ↗

The Township of Galloway was created by a Royal Patent issued by King George III of Great Britain on April 4, 1774. At that time it was part of Gloucester County, and encompassed what are now Hammonton, Mullica Township, Egg Harbor City, Port Republic, Brigantine, Atlantic City, and the northern portion of Absecon. Galloway Township was incorporated by the New Jersey Legislature on February 21, 1798, as one of the state's initial group of 104 townships under the Township Act of 1798.
