Hopewell Township Is A Charming Small Town In New Jersey Where Life Runs At Its Own Pace

Several years back, Cumberland County was ranked as the sleepiest county in New Jersey. How did it receive this designation? Lots of open spaces, outdoor activities, and a modest population per square mile (compared to more dense counties) were a few factors. It’s less industry and business-oriented and much more laid back. You won’t find mega malls everywhere (there’s just one, Cumberland Mall) and there isn’t a fast-food restaurant on every corner. While you will find a few bustling cities (Vineland, for example), you’re more likely to find charming small towns like Hopewell Township.
