The area now considered Palmyra was the northernmost border of New Sweden beginning in the late 17th century, and the community remained primarily used for farming after the Camden and Amboy Railroad was finished in 1834. In 1850, the town was laid out and the streets were named to match those in Philadelphia.
The historic town of Palmyra doesn't primarily rely on agricultural industries anymore; however, there are still plenty of job opportunities for people living in Palmyra apartments and homes. Some of the top employers in Burlington County include the Virtua Memorial Hospital, Lockheed Martin, Burlington Coat Factory and CVS Corporation.
