Grow With Us

By Mayor Winfield S. Price, Director of Public Affairs

A CITY grows only as it is made to grow.

Camden this year marked the centennial anniversary of its incorporation as a city. One hundred years ago our population was 1143.

Today our population is approximately 140,000.

Ten years from now the population of Camden should be 300,000.

Natural advantages, coupled with boundless civic energy, is making Camden one of the fastest growing cities in these United States.

Camden as the home of mighty industries is a city whose wares are sought by the Ports of the Seven Seas.

Camden's doors are wide open, and through the eyes of business and industry may be viewed the evidences of prosperity builder upon a solid foundation.

Camden's past growth and the greater growth we are fostering have various contributing causes. The industrial and educational life; the advantage of location coupled with miles of frontage on the great Delaware River; climate; labor market and proximity to large centers of population and famed seashore resorts. These are salient factors and behind all is a civic determination to keep the collective shoulder behind the "wheel of Camden progress."

Realizing and utilizing our advantages, Camden is growing, and our message goes forth to all;

COME AND GROW WITH US.
