Vineland is a city and the most populous municipality in Cumberland County, within the U.S. state of New Jersey. Bridgeton and Vineland are the two principal cities of the Vineland-Bridgeton metropolitan statistical area, which encompasses those cities and all of Cumberland County for statistical purposes and which constitutes a part of the Delaware Valley (the Philadelphia metropolitan area).[22] The MSA had a population of 156,898 as of the 2010 census.[23] As of the 2020 United States census, the city's population was 60,780,[11][12] its highest decennial count ever and an increase of 56 (+0.1%) from the 60,724 recorded at the 2010 census,[24][25] which in turn reflected an increase of 4,453 (+7.9%) from the 56,271 counted in the 2000 census.[26] The Census Bureau's Population Estimates Program calculated that the city's population was 60,491 in 2022,[11] ranking the city the 639th-most-populous in the country.[13]

Vineland was formed on July 1, 1952, through the merger of Landis Township and Vineland Borough, based on the results of a referendum held on February 5, 1952.[3][27][28] Festivities on July 1, 1952, when the merger took effect, included a parade and speeches from such notables as Senator Estes Kefauver.[29] The name is derived from the plans of its founder to use the land to grow grapes.[30][31]

Geographically, the city is part of South Jersey. It has large Italian-American[32] and Hispanic-American populations.[33]
