Pomona was often described as the home to Stockton University,[citation needed] since the mailing address for the college was a post-office box located in the Pomona Post Office.[16] In 2011, the university changed its mailing address to its main campus (using the street Vera King Farris Drive, Galloway Township, New Jersey).[17]

"Anne Grunow, who recently had an Antarctic peak named after her, wasn’t terribly interested in science while a student at Absegami High School in the 1970s. 'I was dead set against doing anything with math or science. I loved history,' said the senior research scientist at Ohio State University and member of Absegami’s Class of 1977.... She always loved being outdoors, having grown up on a potato farm in the Pomona section of Galloway Township."
