Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The largest city in area in New Jersey is located in South Jersey. What is the name of that city?

Answer: Vineland

The City of Vineland was formed when Landis Township and The Borough of Vineland merged in 1952. Vineland is the original home of Welch's Grape Juice, home to Progresso Foods, and once boasted itself as the Dandelion Capital of the World. Vineland has been featured prominently in Progresso Soup commercials.

2. The original Monopoly board consisted of streets from what South Jersey resort town?

Answer: Atlantic City

The casino town was once a well-visited resort town. You can still drive down such streets as Pacific Ave., Atlantic Ave., New York Ave., but you might want to steer clear of Baltic and Mediterranean Avenues.

Answer: Millville

The series began in 1894 and has been a South Jersey tradition ever since. The bordering towns also have a heated rivalry in baseball, soccer, field hockey, and wrestling.

4. Ocean City, a very popular shore town in South Jersey, has a very interesting law. What is that law?

Answer: No Alcohol Sold Within City Limits

Even though there is no law against alcohol consumption within city limits, Ocean City does not allow the sale of alcohol within town limits. So the town is basically a B.Y.O.B. town.

Answer: Cherry Hill

The Knights had an infamous existence in the Cherry Hill Arena. The ice sloped to the point that the opposing team had to skate uphill for two periods and the visitors had to dress at their hotel because the arena lacked sufficient locker room facilities for both teams.

Answer: Hammonton

Anyone who watches Boardwalk Empire should recognize the Blueberry Capital reference as this was on a Welcome to Hammonton sign on the TV show. Hammonton also won the Little League World Series in 1949. It is also the hometown of VP Joe Biden's wife Jill.

7. In 1997, the largest prison in NJ, housing more than 3500 inmates, opened in Bridgeton. What is the name of this prison?

Answer: Southwoods State Prison

Southwoods State Prison is responsible for preparing meals for the entire NJ Department of Corrections with one of the largest food production kitchens in the state. East Jersey State Prison is actually the infamous Rahway State Prison. New Jersey State Prison is the infamous Trenton State Prison. Riverfront State Prison was closed in 2009 even though it was only 24 years old. Southwoods is also one of three state correctional facilities in Cumberland County.

The others are Bayside State Prison (formerly known as Leesburg State Prison) and Southern State Correctional Facility. Both are located in Maurice River Township.

8. While Vineland is famous for Progresso, the city of Camden is equally as famous for a nationally known product. What is the name of this famous company?

Cento Fine Foods is also a South Jersey product that is manufactured in nearby West Deptford. Dupont is a major company in Delaware. Although Ocean Spray does get cranberries from Burlington County, they are not headquartered there.
