History


Paulsboro is the home of Fort Billingsport, the first land purchase made by the United States, acquired the day after the signing of the United States Declaration of Independence.[25]


Paulsboro is the location of the Tinicum Island Rear Range Lighthouse, first lit on the night of December 31, 1880. In 1997 a local citizen's group was established with the purpose of providing tours and public access to the structure. The lighthouse is one of New Jersey's few publicly accessible aids to navigation and is the centerpiece of Paulsboro's cultural revitalization.[26]




Aerial view of 2012 derailment


The East Jefferson Street railroad bridge over Mantua Creek was built in 1917[27] and rebuilt in 1940 for the Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines (PRSL).[28] It is now part of Conrail's Penns Grove Secondary. On November 30, 2012 it buckled, causing seven cars of a freight train to derail. One of the four tanker cars that fell into the creek was punctured, leaking thousands of gallons of vinyl chloride. Homes in the borough had to be evacuated and dozens of people went to hospitals as a precautionary measure due to exposure to the chemicals.[29] Some residents in the area have filed suit against Conrail and CSX in Pennsylvania State Court having "complained about respiratory and bronchial related illnesses, headaches, eye and skin irritations and multiple other symptoms."[30] In March 2013, Conrail announced that the bridge would be replaced with an expected September 2014 operational date. Normally, between March 1 and November 30 the bridge is left in the open position for maritime traffic and closed when trains approach.[27] It will remain locked in the closed position until the bridge is replaced.[31][32] In September 2013, another less serious derailment took place along the Paulsboro Gibbstown border, with one car leaving the tracks on a train consisting mostly of empty tanker cars.[33]



Geography


According to the United States Census Bureau, the borough had a total area of 2.605 square miles (6.745 km2), including 1.896 square miles (4.910 km2) of land and 0.709 square miles (1.836 km2) of water (27.21%).[1][2]


Unincorporated communities, localities and place names located partially or completely within the borough include Billingsport.[34]

Government



Local government


Paulsboro is governed under the Borough form of New Jersey municipal government. The governing body consists of a Mayor and a Borough Council comprising six council members, with all positions elected at-large on a partisan basis as part of the November general election. A mayor is elected directly by the voters to a four-year term of office. The Borough Council consists of six members elected to serve three-year terms on a staggered basis, with two seats coming up for election each year in a three-year cycle.[7] The Borough form of government used by Paulsboro, the most common system used in the state, is a "weak mayor / strong council" government in which council members act as the legislative body with the mayor presiding at meetings and voting only in the event of a tie. The mayor can veto ordinances subject to an override by a two-thirds majority vote of the council. The mayor makes committee and liaison assignments for council members, and most appointments are made by the mayor with the advice and consent of the council.[45][46]


As of 2016[update], the Mayor of the Borough of Paulsboro is Democrat Gary C. Stevenson, whose term of office ends December 31, 2019. Members of the Paulsboro Borough Council are Council President John A. Giovannitti (D, 2016), Eric DiTonno (D, 2016; appointed to serve an unexpired term), Alfonso G. Giampola (D, 2018), Larry Haynes Sr. (D, 2018), Theodore D. Holloway, II (D, 2017) and Joe L. Kidd (D, 2017).[3][47][48][49][50][51]


In January 2016, the Borough Council selected Eric Ditonno to fill the seat expiring in December 2016 that was vacated by Gary C. Stevenson when he took office as mayor.[52]


Gary Stevenson was chosen in January 2012 to fill the vacant council seat of W. Jeffery Hamilton expiring in 2013, who left his seat after being sworn in as mayor.[53] Alfonso Giampola was appointed in May 2012 to fill the vacant seat of Paul Morina for a term ending in 2014.[54]

Port of Paulsboro


Main article: Port of Paulsboro

The Port of Paulsboro is located on the Delaware River and Mantua Creek in and around Paulsboro, and is traditionally one of the nation's busiest for marine transfer operations of petroleum products. From 1998 to early 2011, the Valero Energy Corporation operated an oil refinery here, which it sold in a 2010 deal to PBF Energy for $360 million.[109] The port is being redeveloped as an adaptable omniport able to handle a diversity of bulk, break bulk cargo and shipping containers. Studies completed in 2012[110][111] concluded that the port is well-suited to become a center for the manufacture, assembly, and transport of wind turbines and platforms for the development of Atlantic Wind Connection[112][113][114][115][116][117] The port has also been home to America's largest asphalt refinery, scheduled to close in 2017.[118][119]
