History of Landisville
Landisville was named after a man named Charles K. Landis. He was a very important person in developing land in New Jersey. Charles Landis helped create other towns like Hammonton and Vineland.
He also played a part in starting smaller towns, including Landisville. Mr. Landis had a big plan for Landisville. He wanted it to become the main town, or "county seat," of a brand new county. This new county would have included land from nearby areas. However, the people living there did not like this idea. They even started calling him "King Landis" because of his big plans.
