Description
Smithville, Burlington County, NJ, USA
On the New Jersey Registers of Historic Places, Smithville grew from a typical, small mill operation on the Rancocas Creek to a major industrial plant employing hundreds of workers in its shops and yards from the 1860s to the 1920s. Known for its high-quality woodworking machinery, the Smithville-Mt. Holly Bicycle Railroad, and the Star highwheeled bicycle, Smithville was also well ahead of its time in town planning, sustainability, and workers� rights and welfare. Within its borders, it offered its residents and workers a variety of recreational, artistic and educational opportunities. Smithville was, in just about every way, a model industrial town.
