According to historian William McMahon, Bulltown is not far from the ruins of Herman City. It was built by the same Samuel Crowley who founded the glassworks at Crowleytown. This was Crowley's second attempt to build a successful glass business in the Pine Barrens. The town stood on what was called Bull Creek, hence it's name. Bulltown glassworks was built sometime after he sold the one at Crowleytown, about 1858. It was the smallest in Jersey at taht time, with but one furnace and five pots. It operated until about 1870, blowing mainly bottle glass. The business failed and was abandoned, although the town was not. People still claimed residency there as late as 1894, as the poll books uncovered at Batsto Historic Site transcribed below indicate. The table below lists those voters who lived in Bulltown in those years:
