Description
The first New Jersey club to join the Golf Association of Philadelphia was Riverton, which was founded in 1900 and became a GAP member two years later. The new century had barely dawned when several of the leading citizens of Riverton, a Quaker village on the Delaware established in 1851 as a summer retreat for Philadelphia businessmen and their families, decided that the community ought to have a golf club.
After all, though its population was a mere 1,300, Riverton already had four churches (Episcopal, Presbyterian, Baptist, Roman Catholic),a Quaker meeting house, a newspaper, grade school, post office, public library, fire company, concert hall, women's club, bicycle track where professionals raced, athletic fields for baseball and football, and, dating back to 1865, the Riverton Yacht Club.
