The City of Vineland
https://www.vinelandcity.org/
The City of Vineland is a vibrant municipal government entity located in Cumberland County, New Jersey, famously recognized as the state's largest city by total land area covering 69 square miles. Operating under a Mayor-Council form of local government, the city administration actively drives regional development, community engagement, and public safety initiatives for its diverse population of over 61,000 residents. Historically celebrated as a historic agricultural and manufacturing hub—once known as the "Egg Capital of the World"—the modern municipality focuses heavily on economic revitalization, urban sustainability, and community partnerships. By co-hosting major cultural and commercial milestones through departments like its Special Events Office, the municipal corporate structure works hand-in-hand with civic associations to manage public venues like the brand-new Vineland Convention Center and foster downtown growth along its historic Landis Avenue commercial corridor
