In the mid-1800s; Charles K. Landis; a visionary and entrepreneur; was looking for land that would be more adaptable to fruit than to grain and suitable also for a wide range of industries. In 1861; Landis developed a parcel of land just north of Millville. Landis set aside 1 square mile called the Borough of Vineland exclusively for homes; businesses; and industry. Beyond that 1 square mile; the land was designated for farming and became Landis Township. In 1952; the citizens of the borough and township voted to merge the two into the City of Vineland; which today remains the largest city in area in New Jersey. Known for its cultural and religious diversity; Vineland�s success in farming; business; and industry can be traced to its unique blend of early settlers; natives; and immigrants alike.
