History

Bargaintown was laid out by a property developer who hoped the value would increase quickly, but when it did not, he sold the lots cheaply. The community has since been called Bargaintown. The area is serviced by the Bargaintown Volunteer Fire Company #2 which was established in 1932 and has two stations located in the community. Station 1 is located at 6550 Mill Road and Station 2 is located at 1 Tony "Mink" Pagano Drive.Who We Are
Bargaintown Volunteer Fire Company #2. Accessed March 27, 2023. "The Bargaintown Volunteer Fire Company #2 was founded in 1932 with one fire station located on Mill Road. We are the second of five fire companies that were formed to create the Egg Harbor Township Fire Department, the first being the Cardiff Volunteer Fire Company #1 in 1927. Today Bargaintown has two fire stations one located at 6550 Mill Road and a second at 1 Tony 'Mink' Pagano Drive to help us respond to the almost 500 calls we get per year."
