Seaville, New Jersey
Seaville is an unincorporated community and census-designated place located within Upper Township in Cape May County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey.
A post office was established in 1849, with Remington Corson as the first postmaster.
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. 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.
