YOU'RE READING THE Local's edition

History, nature, and community intertwine beautifully.

Salem County offers a relaxed, rural atmosphere. It's a place where neighbors know each other, community events are well-attended, and the pace of life is slower than in more urban areas of New Jersey. The county retains a strong sense of its agricultural roots.
