The Diamond Packing Company in Bridgeton, New Jersey was part of the region's rich agricultural and industrial history. Bridgeton, located in Cumberland County, was known for its thriving canning, packing, and agricultural processing industries in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Companies like Diamond Packing would have been involved in preserving and packing locally grown produce, such as tomatoes, peaches, and other fruits and vegetables, for distribution and sale. Bridgeton was home to several canning and packing companies due to its proximity to fertile farmland and access to rail and shipping routes, making it a hub for food production and distribution. The packing industry in Bridgeton was fueled by a workforce that included immigrant labor and local farmers who supplied the produce.
