City of Salem, New Jersey

City of Salem, New Jersey As we celebrated the 350th anniversary of our historic city, join us to learn about the progress, activities, and meetings.

The town and colony of Salem was laid out in 1675 by a Quaker, John Fenwick, and the community was given permission to choose officers in October 1693. It was incorporated on February 21, 1798, as part of the initial group of 104 townships established by the New Jersey Legislature. On February 25, 1858, it was reincorporated as Salem City. The name “Salem,” in both the city and county, is derived

from the Hebrew word shalom, meaning “peace”. It is also related to the Arabic “saalam”, also “peace”.
