    If you're interested in learning more about the history of Hawthorne and the nearby Naval Ammunition Depot, which has significantly shaped the development of the area, this is the place to go.

    In 1926, the Naval Ammunition Depot in New Jersey exploded and the Navy began searching for a less populated location for a replacement and settled on the small community of Hawthorne in 1928. Today, it is still considered to be the largest ammunitions depot in the world.
