Over near Camden, New Jersey, the Roeblings built a company town for producing the pre-stretched cables needed for the Brooklyn Bridge and steel components for their other major projects. If you ever have a chance, it's well worth visiting, and the guided tour and museum are fascinating. https://www.flickr.com/gp/venditti_min_min-venditti/n088MS91Mt
Actually, it's closer to Trenton than to Camden. The original Roebling Works were in Trenton, but they outgrew their space and had a tiff with the mayor so relocated outside the county!
