Pointers is an unincorporated community within Mannington Township in Salem County, New Jersey, United States.[1][2]
The settlement was named "Pointers", or "The Pointers", because it was located at the intersection of three old roads[3]—Salem Woodstown Road (Route 45), Pointers Auburn Road (County Route 540), and Pointers Sharptown Road (County Route 620)—which "pointed" toward Salem.[4][5]
The Salem Medical Center is located at Pointers.[5] The "Pointers intersection" was identified in Mannington Township's 2010 Master Plan as one of two commercial districts to be developed.[6]
