Gouldtown is a small community with an outsized story, long recognized as one of the nation’s oldest continuously inhabited African American settlements. Quiet lanes meet wide horizons here, with farm fields giving way to tidal creeks and the expansive marshes of the Cohansey. Daily needs and downtown energy are close by in Bridgeton and Millville, while county services and events are easy to access across Cumberland County.
Families appreciate the practical conveniences: local services are handled by the Township, and K–8 students attend the well-regarded Fairfield Township School, known for its close-knit classrooms and community programming. Older students move on to Cumberland Regional High School, which offers a broad slate of academics, arts, and athletics. Township information, public works updates, and recreation notices are posted by Fairfield Township, keeping residents in the loop.
Weekends invite exploration. Paddle or cast a line along the back-bay waterways, keep binoculars ready at the Cohansey River Wildlife Management Area, or wander the trails and riverside parks around Bridgeton’s historic core. Scenic drives unfold along the salt hay meadows and bayside hamlets on the Bayshore Heritage Byway. And for an easy family outing, the Cohanzick Zoo and seasonal festivals nearby add a touch of whimsy to the calendar.
