During the latter half of the 1800's. At a place, where the central railroad meets the Delaware River, was a small bayside town dubbed 'The Caviar Capital of the World'.

At the peak of the towns success there were over two dozen wholesale caviar companies and over 400 fisherman that worked and lived in town. The caviar industry flourished so much here that it could be compared to the gold rush of other times and made New Jersey the biggest export of gourmet caviar.

By the early 1900's the Atlantic sturgeon that flourished along the Delaware bay had been overfished and the town slowly dissolved back into the bay.

Today all that is left is the beaches of formal glory.
