Two notable Swedish settlements in South Jersey are Swedesboro and the nearby town of Logan. Founded in the 17th century, these areas were part of the larger Swedish colonization efforts in North America, particularly around the Delaware River. Swedesboro, originally called "Swede's Borough," still retains historical aspects of its Swedish heritage, including architecture and community events. Today, both towns celebrate their rich cultural history through various activities and festivals.
