Millington

History

Clover Hill Swimming Club was located in Millington. The club lost a 1966 civil rights case, Clover Hill Swimming Club v. Robert F. Goldsboro. The club was sued by an African American veterinarian who said he was denied membership because of his race. The club claimed that because it was private, the Law of Discrimination did not apply and therefore it could pick its own membership. After the Clover Hill Swimming Club appealed the first decision, the Supreme Court of New Jersey again sided with the plaintiff.
