Richard Fetters, a prominent figure in Camden for numerous years, came into the world on January 19, 1791, predating the establishment of Camden itself.

Incorporated in 1828, the progress and possibilities of Camden have far exceeded the expectations of the Founders and Incorporators. The year 1928 witnessed the celebration of the one hundredth anniversary of the incorporation of Camden as a city.
That section of the city commonly known as Fettersville was purchased by Richard Fetters in 1833 from Charity and Grace Kaighn and embraced the land lying between Line and Cherry Streets, extending from Third Street to the Delaware River.
