Woodbury was originally formed as a borough on March 27, 1854 within Deptford Township based on the results of a referendum held on March 22, 1854. On January 2, 1871, Woodbury was reincorporated as a city based on the results of a referendum held that day.[23]
The Inspira Health Network is based in Woodbury.[24] The now-defunct Woodbury Country Club operated in Woodbury from 1897 to 2010, closing due to declining membership and mounting debt that led to a bankruptcy filing by the club.[25]
The city had the 14th-highest property tax rate in New Jersey with an equalized rate of 4.582% in 2020 compared to 3.212% in the county as a whole and a statewide average of 2.279%.[26]
History
As recounted by historian William McMahon, the Native Americans called the place where the city of Woodbury is now located "Piscozackasing", or "place of the black burrs".[27]
Woodbury was founded in 1683 by Henry Wood, a Quaker from the Northwest of England who left Great Britain due to religious persecution. Wood was incarcerated in Lancaster gaol for practicing as a Quaker and left his home in the village of Tottington near Bury, Lancashire in a boat to set up a community in the new world where he and his family could practice his religion freely. His surname and his home town went to make up the name Woodbury, which he founded.[28][29][30]
In 2000, the Borough of Bury, England, and the City of Woodbury were twinned as part of millennium celebrations in both countries. The twinning ceremony was the culmination of a week where more than 300 school children and college students, local dignitaries and local residents from Bury took part in sporting and cultural events held in and around Woodbury with local people. During the week there was a symbolic meeting and reconciliation of the Vicar of Henry Wood's former church in Tottington and the Quaker meeting house in Woodbury and an ecumenical service attended by many of the residents and visitors.[31]
Paleontological discovery
In 1787, a fossil bone recovered in Woodbury from local Cretaceous strata was discussed by the American Philosophical Society in Philadelphia.[32] The remains were only retrospectively identified as dinosaurian,[32] as dinosaurs would not be scientifically recognized as a distinct group of reptiles until August of 1841.[33]
Recycling
Woodbury was the first city in the United States to mandate recycling. This effort was led by then-councilman and later mayor Donald P. Sanderson in the 1970s, and an ordinance was finally passed in December 1980. The idea of towing a recycling trailer behind a trash collection vehicle to enable the collection of trash and recyclable material at the same time emerged. Sanderson was asked to speak in municipalities throughout the country and other towns and cities soon followed suit.[34]
