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.
3. South Jersey is home to one of the oldest high school football rivalries in the nation. Every Thanksgiving Day, the Fighting Clan of Vineland High School go up against the Thunderbolts of where?

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.
5. In the middle of the 1973-74 season of the World Hockey Association, the NY Golden Blades left New York and moved to South Jersey and became the Jersey Knights. What city did the Knights call home for the rest of the season before moving across country to become the San Diego Mariners?

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.
6. In 1984, then President Ronald Reagan visited a South Jersey town during his re-election tour. This town named one of its streets Ronald Reagan Boulevard. This town touts itself as the Blueberry Capital of the World. What is the name of this town?

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?

Begun in 1869, Campbell's Soup is one of if not the most recognized brands of soup in the world and is still headquartered and has a plant in Camden.
