ISOLATED in AMERICA!! 15 Remote Small Towns in New Jersey You Won’t Believe Exist #newjersey #smalltowns #ghosttowns #worldside #darkside #travel #documentary #facts

Most people picture Newark, Jersey City, and packed shore towns when they think of New Jersey. But off the highways and beyond the boardwalks are small towns with huge stories—some remote and almost forgotten, some fighting heavy social challenges, others irresistibly charming, and a few that exist today only as ghost towns.

In this video, we tour 15 small towns across New Jersey through four lenses:
Remote Towns:
Washington (Warren County)—a quiet valley community where life moves slow.
Hope—an 18th-century Moravian settlement that still looks Old-World.
Sandyston—forests, farms, and Delaware Water Gap edges.
Walpack—fewer than ten residents after a federal dam plan emptied the town; now folded into the recreation area.
“Worst” Towns (by hardship & crime stats):
Bridgeton—post-industrial poverty but rich immigrant culture.
Salem—deep income gaps and shuttered storefronts despite colonial roots.
Penns Grove—industry left, jobs vanished, community spirit remains.
Asbury Park—iconic music scene and beach vs. elevated crime rates.
Paterson—Great Falls glory and industrial history amid modern struggle.
Camden—revival efforts vs. decades of post-industrial decline.
Charming/Unique:
Cape May—Victorian architecture + classic seaside vibe.
Lambertville—galleries, antiques, and a thriving arts scene.
Frenchtown—European-feeling cafés and boutiques on the Delaware.
Milford—tiny, slower-paced river town with a strong community core.
Ghost Towns:
Amatol—a WWI munitions boomtown erased almost overnight.
Feltville (“Deserted Village”)—19th-century company town that faded into eerie preservation.

From nearly empty Walpack to storybook Cape May, from Paterson’s Great Falls to Feltville’s silent streets, New Jersey reveals a side most travelers never see. Which town surprised you most—the most remote, the toughest, the quirkiest, or the one that’s barely there?
