Woodbine Celebrates 113th Birthday March 3

WOODBINE – The Borough of Woodbine will be celebrating the 113 anniversary of its incorporation at the March 3, 2016, meeting of the Woodbine Borough Council.
“Only two months after I was elected Mayor, we celebrated the 88^th birthday of the Borough as an incorporated municipality; one which, however, had been in existence for nearly a hundred years at that time,” noted Mayor Pikolycky.
The Borough will also be celebrating the Quasquicentennial of its Founding, which occurred with the purchase of 5,300 acres from Dennis Township July 19, 1891, with the first settlers arriving Aug. 11.
“On the weekend of Sept. 20 through 22, 1991, we held a celebration for the Centennial of Woodbine’s Founding. It is now nearly a quarter century later.
In 1991, I was in my first year as Mayor; I have now completed my 25^th.  In the years in between, Woodbine has seen an economic and social come-back that we are proud to commemorate as we reach this milestone year,” added Mayor Pikolycky. “Our website gives a more detailed history of Woodbine’s founding.
And, of course, the Sam Azeez Museum of Woodbine History is a treasure trove of our community, past and present.”
