Newton Colony, New Jersey

Newton Colony was the third English settlement in West Jersey.[1] Newton Colony was founded in 1682 by a group of Quakers, who had emigrated from Ireland, on the banks of Newton Creek, a tributary of the Delaware River, in present-day Camden County, New Jersey.[1] The founders of Newton Colony were William Bates, George Goldsmith, Mark Newbie, Thomas Sharp, Thomas Thackara and Robert Zane.[1] The original Newton Colony occupied most of the present day municipalities of Oaklyn and Collingswood, New Jersey.[1] The original colony grew to occupy a portion of the present day municipalities of Camden, Haddon Township, Pennsauken Township, and Haddonfield.

gollark: Too bad.
gollark: So, I can probably fix this if I make the page rendering step do some database lookups to case-insensitively match things (instead of statelessly generating slugs) and check aliases.
gollark: Also, the way case-insensitivity is done - by canonicalizing to title case - is actually not good.
gollark: Thanks, horse.
