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]
