re: #127 wheat-dogg
Farmland. I think the only other “industries” were fishing and whaling. My earliest ancestors there were farmers, then carpenters and merchants. My gg-grandfather built several structures in Steelmanville, some of which are apparently still standing.
Just looked up Steelmanville, as I’d never heard of it before. Never ceases to amaze me that as long as I’ve lived here, every year there’s at least two towns I learn about for the first time.
Fun fact: Egg Harbor has a neighborhood called Bargintown.
