Geocache Description:

Welcome to Nortonville, the NJ micro-town you've probably never heard of! It's a subdivision of Logan Township (which shares the same postal code and high school distract as Swedesboro) and lies just north of the green lift bridge separating Salem County and Gloucester County. The bridge has been inoperable since the late 1960's, and until the 1950's Nortonville Rd. was the original Rt. 130, which ran from the Delaware Memorial Bridge to Rt. 1 in New Brunswick.


The original title of this cache was "Northside Nortonville Nano," but after bikehammer found it and suggested it be part of his "0h No A Nano" series, I made the appropriate change. You are looking for... You guessed it: a nano magnetized to a street sign! With the hint I've provided, you shouldn't need much more information than that. Congratulations to Cargirl2, moliveri, and Allen-Ave-Budd-Club for being FTF!

EDIT 5/25/2024: The entire town of Nortonville essentially no longer exists. All houses along this stretch of Route 130 have been demolished to make room for more warehouses. Please take a moment of silence to honor the memory of this strange little “holler” and the first house I ever rented.
