Pomona is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP)[10] located within Galloway Township, in Atlantic County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey.[11][12][13] As of the 2010 United States Census, the CDP's population was 7,124.[14][15] The area is served as United States Postal Service ZIP Code 08240.[6]

Locally, the name "Pomona" is loosely used also to refer to areas adjacent to Pomona proper, including adjoining portions of Hamilton Township and Egg Harbor Township in the vicinity of the Atlantic City International Airport.[citation needed]

Pomona was often described as the home to Stockton University,[citation needed] since the mailing address for the college was a post-office box located in the Pomona Post Office.[16] In 2011, the university changed its mailing address to its main campus (using the street Vera King Farris Drive, Galloway Township, New Jersey).[17]
