The Short Take

Roebling At A Glance

Roebling is the second village in Florence Township, on the Delaware River. In 1904 Charles Roebling bought a 115-acre farm near the Kinkora railway station for a new steel mill and wire rope plant of the John A. Roebling's Sons Company, and from 1905 the company laid out a model town for its workers beside the mill. The Roebling CDP covers about 1.0 square mile of land, and the Census counted 3,585 people there in 2020.
