The borough of Pitman, New Jersey is in Gloucester County. The area that was to become Pitman began as a Methodist summer camp. Set up with a central meeting ground, with twelve roads originating from the central area like spokes on a wheel, representing each of the disciples of Jesus, the camp became known as Pitman Grove. Cottages that were built to replace the original tents formed the basis for the new town, as residents began staying year-round. Pitman was incorporated in 1905.
