— Jersey Cape Historically By John Merrill |

I have always admired the old Ocean View pond, for the green tree-lined borders and the serenity of the general landscape. Properly called Magnolia Lake or John Townsend's Pond, this historic site was the location of the first mill in Cape May County. Constructed in 1690 by John Townsend. out of clay and earth, the dam and the resulting pond, were used not only tojpower a mill to grind corn'and wheat, but also as a sawmill creating building lumber out of the local timber. IN THE WINTER, ice was harvested from the pond and stored in a mixture of sawdust and hay to prevent thawing during the warmer seasons.

This storing was not done on the immediate premises, but in the local ice-houses (or witches' cellars as they are often called in New England i of the local inhabitants In the spring, the floodgate of the dam was opened during a time when there was an ebb tide on Mill Creek WITH THE local men participating, the loosened earth of the banks of Mill Creek was kicked or ptished into the surging pond waters and washed into the depths of Townsend's Inlet. As the area developed, so did the old mill-pond area. The old log bridge was replaced with one of sawn timber and then by one of stone around 1850. By 1910. concrete was used to replace the old timber sluiceway. MORE IMPORTANTLY, the sawmill industry thrived. With vessels sailing up Mill Creek to the pond, there they engaged in a vigorous lumber business. Today, many of the older homes that still stand in the area are constructed from the lumber shaped at the old mill. With the mill leading the way. other industries, for a time, established a foothold in the locality of the pond. Wintergreen grew in such abundance along the shores that a distillery was created to harvest the wintergreen oil for use as a medicine for athritis and rheumatism Wintergreen had the dual utility of also being used as a flavoring when cooking. THE GROWING and harvesting of hops (quite necessary for the production of beer and ale) and cranberries (in the marshes whose waters fed the pond) helped increase the number of settlers in the area and further promoted local development. It seems fitting that John Townsend's ancient pond remains even though the various industries have disappeared from the area. Townsend's creation has left us with a beautifully serene vista within modern Cape May County.
