Seaville is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) [4] located within Upper Township in Cape May County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. [5]
A post office was established in 1849, with Remington Corson as the first postmaster. [6]
Seaville is home to the only yellow fire trucks in Cape May County, a tradition started in 1985 when the Seaville Fire Rescue Company was purchasing a new vehicle and thought that federal regulations would require the color. [7] Since being formed in 1964 and purchasing its first fire truck a year later, the Seaville company has served the area, responding to over 200 calls a year from its fire station which is located on Route 50 across from Dino's Seaville Diner. [8]
As with other parts of Upper Township, the area is zoned to Upper Township School District [9] (for grades K-8) and Ocean City School District (for high school). The latter operates Ocean City High School.
Countywide schools include Cape May County Technical High School [10] [11] and Cape May County Special Services School District.
