Camden is located in southeastern New Jersey, directly across the Delaware River from Philadelphia. As of the 2010 census, the population was 77,344. The city of Camden has a historically significant background, having once been a thriving center for manufacturing and industry in the state. Unfortunately, now Camden is perhaps best known for its struggles with urban dysfunction. In the early days, Fort Nassau, which is now located within the boundaries of nearby Gloucester City, was built by the Dutch West India Company in 1626. It was the first European attempt to settle the area that is now Camden. The Dutch and Swedish fought for control of the settlement due to its' prime location on the banks of the Delaware River, which was ripe with the local fur trade. For over 150 years, Camden served as a economic hub for the area, second only to Philadelphia. However, like many American cities, Camden began to suffer in the 20th century as the manufacturing base declined. From 1901 to 1929, Camden was headquarters of the Victor Talking Machine Company, and its successor RCA Victor, the worlds largest manufacturer of phonographs and phonograph records. The famous Nipper Building that depicted RCAs famous His Masters Voice trademark in its tower windows has since been renovated into an upscale apartment building. Today, one of the most popular attractions in Camden is the Waterfront along the Delaware River. Four major attractions are located on the waterfront; the USS New Jersey; the Susquehanna Bank Center; Campbells Field; and the Adventure Aquarium. Other points of interest include the Battleship New Jersey Museum and Memorial, Walt Whitman House and the Harleigh Cemetery.
