History

The Kenvil section of Roxbury Township was originally called McCainsville.

Kenvil was home to the second dynamite plant in the US, established in 1872 by the Atlantic Giant Powder Company. After acquisition of the plant by the Hercules Powder Company in 1913, it also manufactured smokeless powder. The company experienced several major explosions, killing six people in 1934, 51 people in 1940, and shattering windows across town in 1989.
