Accessed January 1, 2015.〕 The community is centered at Marshalltown Road and Roosevelt Avenue, located southeast of Glenside and east-southeast of Pennsville.〔(N 39.6375 W 75.453333 ), ACME Mapper. Accessed January 1, 2015.〕 ==History== Located near the Salem River, Marshalltown was one of five pre-Civil War communities developed along tributaries of the Delaware River by freedmen. Before the abolition of slavery, these black-populated communities offered protection and aid to fugitive slaves, and "the likelihood that there was antebellum Underground Railroad activity is high".〔〔 The settlement once contained many houses and gardens, a school, stores, and two churches. Mount Zion A.U.M.P. Church in Marshalltown is one of the earliest African Methodist churches. By 2010, only a school house, a church, and two cemeteries survived, and "isolation, theft, vandalism, and lack of historic preservation planning threaten the surviving cultural landscape of Marshalltown".〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Marshalltown, New Jersey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
