About Woodbine
At a glance. Woodbine is a Cape May County borough of 2,128 people (2020 census). Borough offices are at 501 Washington Avenue.
History. Woodbine was founded in 1891 as a haven for Jews fleeing persecution in Eastern Europe. The Baron DeHirsch Fund bought 5,300 acres in Dennis Township, and settlers from Poland and Russia cleared the forest and built a town and farms. The center of town still uses the grid laid out in 1891. Woodbine became a borough in 1903. The Baron DeHirsch Agricultural College opened in 1894 and closed in 1917, and later became the Woodbine Developmental Center.
Library. The Woodbine Branch of the Cape May County Library is at 800 Monroe Avenue.
Selling a home. New Jersey requires a certificate for working smoke alarms, carbon monoxide alarms and a portable fire extinguisher before a one- or two-family home gets a new owner or tenant. Ask the Woodbine borough construction office whether anything else is checked before a sale. Rules change, so check with the town before listing.
