About Buena Vista Township:

Buena (pronounced b-EWE-na) Vista Township is located in the lower western portion of Atlantic County, bordering Gloucester and Cumberland counties. Part of New Jersey’s Pinelands region, Buena Vista is home to both a popular campground and country club that share the name Buena Vista.

In 1867, Buena Vista Township was founded when towns such as Richland and Mizpah were settled along the railroad from Newfield to Atlantic City. Richland, in Buena Vista Township, was developed as a real estate venture by the Richland Improvement Company. Most of the township was divided into farms and, by 1893, bushels of fruits and vege-tables numbering in the tens of thousands were being shipped from the area.
