Tuckahoe, New Jersey

Tuckahoe is a census-designated place (CDP)[4] unincorporated community located within Upper Township in Cape May County of New Jersey.

[5] The tuckahoe plant was pounded into pulp by local Native Americans and used for cooking and baking, as flour, which served as an ingredient in their cornbread.

Since the tuckahoe was found in great abundance in this area, members of various Lenape tribes would visit this location to collect them.

A bridge, constructed in 1926 and renovated in 1961, connects Tuckahoe to Corbin City, its neighbor to the north.

Tuckahoe Road, which has its beginnings in Cross Keys, New Jersey at Route 42, provides access to Ocean City at the northern edge of Cape May County and other shore points as an alternative route to the Atlantic City Expressway.
