Camden County, N. J., c. h. at Camden. S. W.
part. Washed by the Delaware on the W.

Camden, N. J. City and port of entry, Glouces-
ter co. Situated on the E. side of the Del-
aware River, opposite Philadelphia. The city
was incorporated in 1828, extending about 2
miles on the river, and about a mile and a half
back. It consists of three distinct villages, each
connected with Philadelphia by a ferry. The
upper of these is known as Cooper's Point, and
(he lower as Kaighn's Point, or South Catnden.
Camden proper is that part of the city included
in the central village, which is the largest of the
three. Cooper's Point, however, was first settled,
and the ferry from Philadelphia to this point was
established as early as 1695. Much of the terri-
tory included within the chartered limits of
Camden is yet occupied with gardens and fruit
orchards, for the supply of the Philadelphia
market. There are several public gardens, which
are places of resort for the citizens of Philadel-
phia, in the summer, for recreation.

•Windmill, or Clark's Island, lies in the river
between Philadelphia and Camden proper, having
the deepest channel on the Philadelphia side.
Vessels of the largest class can come up only to
Kaiglm's Point, and those of 150 tons only to
Camden proper. Clark's Island and the bar
running from it interposed, in its natural condi-
tion, an obstacle to the direct passage of the ferry
boats to Camden. This proved so serious an
inconvenience that, in 1837, a channel was cut
through it at a cost of about $40,000. The ter-
minus of the Camden and Amboy Railroad,
making a part of one of the routes from Phil-
adelphia to New York, is at Camden; and also
that of another railroad, running a few miles
south, to Woodbury, the shire town of the county.

The growth of Camden, as a place of business,
has been considerable for a few years past.
There are now 18 or 20 respectable mercantile
houses, several lumber yards, and numerous
mechanical and manufacturing establishments.
There are churches in the city of the Episcopal,
Baptist, and Methodist denominations, and of
the Friends. The remains of barracks built here
by the British, during their occupancy of Phil-
adelphia, in the war of the revolution, are still
visible near the upper ferry.

Camden, S. C., seat of justice of Kershaw
district. On the E. bank of Wateree River. 33
miles N. E. from Columbia. The river is navi-
gable to this place for flat boats of 60 or 70 tons.
The soil of the surrounding country is fertile,
but liable to be overflowed. Cotton and corn
are abundantly produced. The place is well
built; some of the church edifices, of which
there are four or five, are elegant. Its trade is
considerable. The De Kalb mills, and a cotton
factory, are in the suburbs of the village.

This place is celebrated, in revolutionary his-
tory, as the scene of two important battles: that
of August 16, 1780, between General Gates and
Lord Cornwallis; and that of April 23, 1781,
between General Greene and Lord Rawdon. In
1825, Lafayette laid the corner stone of a monu-
ment here to the memory of Baron de Kalb, of
revolutionary celebrity, which stands at the foot
of De Kalb Street, and is of fine white marble.

In the near vicinity of this town is a large
mound, supposed to indicate the site of one of
the ancient towns of the Catawba Indians.
