Vineland story

Landis, Grapes, Glass & Growth

Charles K. Landis began developing Vineland in 1861 after acquiring roughly 20,000 acres along the railroad between Philadelphia and South Jersey. His planned community promoted agriculture, broad roads, schools and civic institutions while restricting alcohol sales.

Grape growing became central to the community’s identity, and Thomas Bramwell Welch’s “unfermented wine” helped connect Vineland to the early grape-juice industry. Farming, poultry, food processing and glassmaking later became major economic forces. Present-day Vineland was created on July 1, 1952, when Vineland Borough and Landis Township merged into one city.

Vineland Historical & Antiquarian Society

108 South Seventh Street. Founded in 1864, the society preserves local photographs, documents, artifacts and exhibitions.

Glass & Laboratory Industry

Vineland became nationally important for scientific and pharmaceutical glass, a specialty still represented by major local manufacturers.

Agriculture & Food Processing

The city remains connected to produce, farming, cold storage, baking and food manufacturing through large employers and family businesses.
