About Atlantic County
Atlantic County stretches from the Atlantic City shoreline inland to the Pine Barrens around Hammonton. Most families live in the mainland suburbs of Egg Harbor Township, Galloway and Absecon, and that is where the town fields, school gyms and rec programs are. Distances are longer here than in North Jersey, so a coach's travel radius matters more than their street address.
