Named as an official district as early as 1693, when the area was known as the province of West Jersey, it was bounded on the north by the Little Egg Harbor River (now known as the Mullica River), and on the south by the Great Egg Harbor River and its southern branch the Tuckahoe River. Its eastern boundary was the Atlantic Ocean, but the western boundary in the South Jersey interior was not fixed until 1761 Municipalities within Atlantic County Absecon (city) Atlantic City (city) Brigantine (city) Collings Lakes Buena (borough) Corbin City (city) Egg Harbor City (city) Estell Manor (city) Folsom (borough) Pomona Mays Landing Hammonton (town) Linwood (city) Longport (borough) Margate City (city) Mullica Township Elwood-Magnolia Northfield (city) Pleasantville (city) Port Republic (city) Somers Point (city) Ventnor City (city)
