Paulsboro is a borough in Gloucester County, New Jersey. Paulsboro was formed as a borough by an Act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 2, 1904, from portions of Greenwich Township. It was named for Samuel Phillip Paul, son of a settler. The borough borders West Deptford Township, East Greenwich Township, Greenwich Township and the Delaware River. Paulsboro is the home of Fort Billingsport, the first land purchase made by the United States. Paulsboro is the location of the Tinicum Island Rear Range Lighthouse, first lit on the night of December 31, 1880. In 1997 a local citizen's group was established with the purpose of providing tours and public access to the structure. The lighthouse is one of New Jersey's few publicly accessible aids to navigation and is the centerpiece of Paulsboro's cultural revitalization.
