Best Answer

Coffins Corner was named for William Coffin, born in Green Bank in 1775. In 1817, Coffin built a glass blowing furnace near the bend, or corner, of Rt. 30, near where Kessler Hospital is presently. The settlement around the furnace became known as Coffins Corner.

Coffin had a son, John Hammond Coffin, who was born in 1816. He re-named the settlement Hammondtown, after his son. Today it's know as Hammonton.
