We just did a "10 Most Famous People from New Jersey" article, and received plenty of feedback, so how about a "Most Famous from South Jersey" list?

(If you want the North Jersey list, it's pretty much our original "From New Jersey" list.)

Determining The 10 Most Famous People From South Jersey

To put together this South Jersey list, we are defining South Jersey as these seven counties: Atlantic, Burlington, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester, and Salem.

It was more difficult putting this list together.

I've decided to include only people born or primarily raised in South Jersey. If you included people not born here, but spent some time growing up here, we could have included Grace Kelly, who spent time in Ocean City, and even Taylor Swift, who spend some early summers in Stone Harbor.

Frank Vogel - NBA Basketball Coach - Won NBA Championship.

Benjamin Burnley - Founder of the rock band Breaking Benjamin.

Ron Jaworski - Football Player and Football Analyst.

Dave Thomas - Founder of Wendy's Restaurant

Honestly, it was a little tough putting the "Most Famous in South Jersey" list together. There's not a lot of famous people from South Jersey - at least nationally famous TODAY and easily recognizable.

Based on a recent study, New Jersey was recently crowned the best state to live in for 2021. Since New Jersey is usually on the receiving end of heaping piles of hate on any given day, you can imagine why Jersey natives were super excited to hear this news! To them, NJ's not just number one this year, but every year. There's more to love about the Garden State than the average person thinks.
