Camden Streets - Miller Street

MILLER STREET became part of Camden when Newton Township was annexed in1871. The street ran south from Van Hook Street, east of South 9th Street to the railroad tracks at Bulson Street, and was intended to continue as far as Florence Street. It first appeared in Camden's City Directories in 1878. The 1906 Sanborn Map of Camden shows numerous homes and at least one business on Miller Street, all of frame construction. When the Clement T. Branch Village public housing project was built in 1939, all the properties between Van Hook Street and Ferry Avenue were seized, razed and Miller Street was erased north of Ferry Avenue. .
