Historical Information
Mullica Township officially came into existence at a meeting held at Pleasant Mills on February 21, 1838. Formed from the western section of Galloway Township, Mullica originally included the greater part of the Town of Hammonton and a portion of Egg Harbor City.
The township and its famous river were officially named after Eric Mullica, a Scandinavian settler who lived in Lower Bank during the seventeenth century. There are still historically significant areas and structures remaining in the township, some dating back to the early 1700s.
