Cape May County History
Middle Township
Whitesboro
Congressman George White of North Carolina acquired seventeen hundred acres to develop his planned African-American community. Attracting settlers was a slow process, as was attracting businesses to provide job opportunities. Henry Spaulding and his family were first to settle. Henry was appointed in 1900 by George White to be the administrator and charged him with the responsibility of developing the new community.
Today Middle Township is comprised of Burleigh, Cape May Court House, Dias Creek, Goshen, Mayville, Rio Grande, Swainton, Whitesboro
