a primer to review, or to share with someone whose South Jersey pronuncia- tions secretly make you cringe. Mantua Man-CHEW-uh This township in Gloucester County is not pro- nounced with a hard FUN FACT: Mantua Township is so historic, ac- tually prehistoric. Rowan University is developing the Jean and Ric Edelman Fossil Park on Woodbury- Glassboro Road as a major public attraction. Visitors are currently allowed during community and school dig days at the former quarry, where fossilized remains from the late cretaceous period have been discovered. The plans include a museum and visitor center, lab- oratory spaces, a nature trail, a paleontology-themed playground, and social spaces Sewell SOOL Not FUN FACT: The town, actually an unincorporated community, can cause confusion as located in Mantua Township, and its post serves Washing- ton Township.

But its origin of its name is clear: Wil- liam Joyce Sewell, an Irish immigrant, was a senator from New Jersey who commanded Union troops in the Civil War. Sewell earned a Congressional Medal of Honor for his bravery in battle. Vista Buh-YOO-na Drives locals crazy when people say Buh-WAY-na FUN FACT: Buena Vista Township contains an un- incorporated community name Richland Village, a ru- ral area important in railroad history.

Gloucester City GLAWWW-ster Not GLOWWW-ster FUN FACT: Gloucester Township and Gloucester City are not in Gloucester County; in Camden County. Deptford DEP-ford Commonly and inexplicably heard as DEFF-ort FUN FACT: If you see a hot-air balloon on the signs and water towers around Deptford, not just be- cause town leaders like the design. Deptford was the site of the hot-air balloon landing in America. In, 1793, Frenchman Jean-Pierre Blanchard his bal- loon from Walnut Street in Philadelphia to a near present-day Route 42.

Malaga MA-la-ga Emphasis on the syllable, not the second! FUN FACT: This section of Franklin Township, Gloucester County, contains a hidden gem: Malaga Lake Park. The lake is ideal for boating and kayaking, and visitors also take advantage of a hiking trail, picnic areas and a playground. MOORES-town and MOR-RIS-town These are two distinct towns with pronun- ciations, but just try telling Siri that. FUN FACT: Burlington Moorestown, not far from Philadelphia, is around 90 miles from Morris- town in North Jersey. They might be at ends of the state, but the sound-alike towns both command housing prices that are above average for their respec- tive regions.

median home value is $370,500 and is $446,100. Woolwich WOOL-wich Woolwich, not Woolrich FUN FACT: In 2018, Gloucester distill- ery since Prohibition opened in Woolwich. Indepen- dent Spirits Distillery operates on ten acres of farm- land, sourcing grains from local farmers. Maurice Maurice River Township MAW-ris sted of More-eece So basically, pronounce it like a name, but not the one it looks like. FUN FACT: Maurice River Township is home to East Point Lighthouse.

Built in 1849, East Point is the last remaining lighthouse on the Cumberland County Del- aware Bayshore. still a destination for picturesque views and the chance to spot local wildlife. Greenwich Township GREEN-witch Most places spelled outside of New Jersey are pronounced GREN-ich. We always have to stand out FUN FACT: Greenwich is Gloucester old- est township. How old? home to a log cabin built by Swedes in the 1600s.

The structure is on the state and national historic registers. Thanks to Kim Mulford, Dave Isaac, Tammy Pao- lino, Carly Q. Romalino, Joseph P.
