It was the sweet-smelling; flowering magnolia tree dominating the grounds near a rural railroad stop that transformed the South Jersey settlement of Greenland into the tiny borough of Magnolia. But while it may have been named for a tree; it was community spirit that inspired Magnolia�s official slogan; One Square Mile of Friendliness. Magnolia celebrates that spirit through an impressive collection of rare photographs. These include Dr. Leslie Lyon; who accepted chickens as payment for house calls during the Depression; the state police substation that protected the region from organized crime during Prohibition; and the home of Aunt Nell; who was always there to lend a hand to those in need. Also included are images of the borough�s early citizens; schools; churches; police; fire; and ambulance squads; businesses; and community activities.
