Editing Camden, New Jersey (section)

=== Founding and early years (1828–1890) ===
In the 19th century Camden underwent significant changes, transitioning from a hub of transportation to a growing city. Camden was incorporated as a city on February 13, 1828, from portions of [[Newton Township, Camden County, New Jersey|Newton Township]], while the area was still part of [[Gloucester County, New Jersey|Gloucester County]]. In 1832, Camden Township was created as a [[Township (New Jersey)|township]] [[wiktionary:coextensive|coextensive]] with Camden City. The township existed until it was repealed in 1848.<ref name=":0" /> Camden Township was established in 1832 which was the same area as Camden City until it was reduced in 1848.<ref name="Story"/> In 1830, the [[Camden and Amboy Railroad and Transportation Company|Camden and Amboy Railroad Company]] was chartered in Camden, which connected ferry terminals from New York City to Philadelphia via rail. The railroad ended in Camden's Waterfront, where passengers would be ferried across the [[Delaware River]] to arrive in Philadelphia. Similarly to Camden's inception, transportation was a huge catalyst in its growth—the railroads opening in 1834 led to an increase in population and commerce.<ref name=":4">Greenberg, Gail.
