History
editThe Kingsland family possessed a large tract of land in the area known as Kingsland Manor.[3] on what was known as New Barbadoes Neck.
In 1872, the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad established a railway through the township, and erected a depot in the settlement named "Kingsland" in honor of the family. A railroad shop was built, and houses erected for the railroad employees. Church services were held in the train depot.[4]
Kingsland had a post office.[5]
