Nesco (also called New Columbia) is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP)[5] located in Mullica Township, Atlantic County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey.
[9] A historic plaque is located at the Indian Cabin Mill Inn in Nesco, where fugitive Joe Mulliner—the "Robin Hood of the Pines"—surrendered to authorities.
Mulliner had settled in nearby Pleasant Mills, but was forced to flee after remaining loyal to England in the Revolutionary War.
Mulliner and 40 others formed a gang and hid on an island in the nearby Mullica River, from where they launched criminal attacks.
Following Mulliner's capture at the Indian Cabin Mill Inn, he was tried in Burlington in 1781, and then hanged.
