A Brief History of Woodbury
Woodbury is regarded as one of America’s oldest "small cities." Henry Wood, a Quaker from Bury, England, settled here in 1683. By 1715, it had grown into a Quaker religious center. However, Woodbury is most noted for its role in the Revolutionary War. Just west of Woodbury is Fort Mercer, which was the location of the Red Bank Battlefield. In 1777, 600 American soldiers defeated 6,000 Hessian soldiers here. British General Lord Cornwallis also had his headquarters here while trying to capture Philadelphia. He would go on later to surrender to George Washington at Yorktown.
Woodbury continued to grow, and in 1871, it received incorporation status as a city. While its most significant economic and population growth occurred between 1880 and 1900, Woodbury is still flourishing, including in the medical and legal industries.
