Haddonfield is a borough located in Camden County, New Jersey. As of the 2010 United States Census, the borough had a total population of 11,593,[7][8][9] reflecting an decline of 66 (-0.6%) from the 11,659 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 31 (+0.3%) from the 11,628 counted in the 1990 Census.[13]

Haddonfield was incorporated by an Act of the New Jersey Legislature on April 6, 1875, within portions of Haddon Township, based on the results of a referendum held that same day. The borough separated from Haddon Township as an independent municipality in 1894.[14]

Haddonfield was the second municipality in New Jersey (after Cape May) to establish a historic preservation district.[citation needed] In keeping with the historic appearance of the borough, some candidates for commissioner distribute colored ribbons to their supporters instead of yard signs.

The New Jersey General Assembly met and declared New Jersey a free and independent state at Haddonfield's Indian King Tavern in the winter of 1777.[15] However, since 1873, Haddonfield has been a dry town where alcohol cannot be sold.[15][16]

Geography

Haddonfield is located at 39°53′44″N 75°02′03″W / 39.895437°N 75.034294°W / 39.895437; -75.034294 (39.895437,-75.034294). According to the United States Census Bureau, the borough had a total area of 2.871 square miles (7.435 km2), of which, 2.824 square miles (7.315 km2) of it is land and 0.047 square miles (0.120 km2) of it (1.62%) is water.Template:GR[5]

The Cooper River forms the border between Haddonfield and Cherry Hill. Haddonfield shares land borders with Haddon Township, Haddon Heights, Barrington, and Tavistock.

Parks

Haddonfield has several parks maintained by the Camden County Parks Department.

  • Hopkins Pond covers 33.10 acres (13.40 ha) and contains both Hopkins Pond and Driscoll Pond.[17]
  • Pennypacker Park contains the Hadrosaurus Foulkii Leidy Site and is near the Cooper River.[18]
  • Wallworth Park contains Evans Pond and Wallworth Pond. Evans Pond is dammed and flows into Wallworth Pond, which is also dammed. Each of these ponds are actually sections of the Cooper River and the early headwaters of the Cooper flow into Evans Pond.[19]

Bodies of water

  • Driscoll Pond is located below Hopkins Pond and Hopkins Pond flows into Driscoll. Driscoll Pond is contained by a small wooden dam. Driscoll Pond is part of the Hopkins Pond park.
  • Hopkins Pond is contained by a large earthen dam; Hopkins Lane is built atop this earthen dam.
  • Evans Pond is part of Wallworth Park and is located directly above Wallworth Lake. A dam separates the two. In the past Evans Pond was deep enough for small boats to sail on.
  • Wallworth Lake is below Evans Pond and contained by yet another dam. Wallworth Lake is located in Wallworth Park.

History

The Haddonfield area was occupied by Lenni Lenape Native Americans. The Lenape disappeared from the local area when settlers arrived. Arrowheads and pottery shards have been found by residents by the banks of the Cooper River, hinting that there was a Native American settlement in Haddonfield at one point in time.

Haddonfield was founded by Elizabeth Haddon (1680–1762), whose Quaker father, John Haddon, bought a 500 acres (2.0 km2) tract of land in the English colony of West Jersey to escape religious persecution. Elizabeth set sail alone from Southwark, England to the New World in 1701. Shortly after her arrival, she made a marriage proposal to John Estaugh, a Quaker minister, and they were married in 1702. The town was named for John Haddon, though he never came to the United States.[28]

The Indian King Tavern, built in 1750, played a significant role in the American Revolution. During that war, the New Jersey legislature—avoiding British forces—met there, and in 1777, declared New Jersey to be an independent state. Today the tavern is a state historical site and museum.[28]

Haddonfield is a significant historic paleontology site. In 1838, William Estaugh Hopkins uncovered large bones in a marl pit in which he was digging. Hopkins displayed the bones at his home, Birdwood; and these bones sparked the interest of a visitor, William Foulke. In 1858, Foulke dug from the marl pit the first full skeleton of a dinosaur found in North America, Hadrosaurus foulkii. The skeleton was assembled in 1868 and is still displayed at Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences. A 12-foot (3.7 m) replica of "Haddy" stands in the center of town.[28]

In 1875, Haddonfield became the first community to secede from Haddon Township and become a self-governing borough. Haddonfield is noted for its historic homes, quaint shops, and legions of lawyers. As a legal center for southern New Jersey, the town houses the offices of more than 390 attorneys.

Haddonfield once was home to Symphony in C (formerly the Haddonfield Symphony), which is now based in Collingswood.[29]

Haddonfield is home to the second oldest volunteer fire company in continuous service in the United States. Haddon Fire Company No. 1 was established as as Friendship Fire Company on March 8, 1764, by 26 townsmen. Each member was to furnish two leather buckets while the company supplied six ladders and three fire hooks.[30]

Government

Local government

The Borough of Haddonfield has been governed under the Walsh Act since 1913, with three non-partisan commissioners elected for four-year concurrent terms.[4][31] Amongst themselves, the Commissioners select a Mayor and may select a Deputy Mayor. Each Commissioner oversees a Department within the Borough.

As of 2012, the current commissioners, elected in May 2009, are Mayor Letitia G. "Tish" Colombi (Commissioner of Public Works, Parks and Public Property), Deputy Mayor Jeffrey Stephen Kasko (Commissioner of Revenue and Finance) and Edward F. Borden, Jr. (Commissioner of Public Affairs and Public Safety).[2] The next election for borough commission is in May 2013. Mayor Colombi announced on January 19, 2013, that she will not seek another term.[citation needed]

Though the commission is nominally non-partisan, Colombi is active in the local Republican organization, Kasko serves as state Republican Party Committeeman from Camden County and previously served as Haddonfield's Republican Party Chairman and as an aide to Governor Christine Todd Whitman, and Borden is a former county prosecutor in Democratic-controlled Camden County.

Borough Hall

Haddonfield Borough Hall

Borough Hall, the home of Haddonfield government, is located at 242 King's Highway East and was built in 1928 by Walter William Sharpley. There are four main offices, including those for the tax assessor, the construction office and the municipal court office. Borough Hall includes a police department, a courtroom, and an auditorium. Its walls are of marble, steel, or plaster, although police station main walls are of steel and cinder block. Haddonfield police write about 8,000 tickets and receive about 300 criminal complaints each year.

In Borough Hall's auditorium are paintings of men who signed the United States Declaration of Independence from New Jersey: Abraham Clark, Francis Hopkinson, Richard Stockton, and John Witherspoon. Some of the paintings are original, other copies.

Weddings have been held in Borough Hall, and when asbestos was removed from the public library, the upper level of Borough Hall became a temporary library.

Borough Commissioner's meetings are held at Borough Hall every second and fourth Tuesday of the month, usually in the courtroom but sometimes, if there is a large attendance, in the auditorium.

Federal, state and county representation

Haddonfield is located in the 1st Congressional District[32] and is part of New Jersey's 6th state legislative district.[8][33][34]

For the 118th United States Congress, New Jersey's 1st congressional district is represented by Donald Norcross (D, Camden).[35][36] New Jersey is represented in the United States Senate by Democrats Cory Booker (Newark, term ends 2027)[37] and George Helmy (Mountain Lakes, term ends 2024).[38][39]

For the 2024-2025 session, the 6th legislative district of the New Jersey Legislature is represented in the State Senate by James Beach (D, Voorhees Township) and in the General Assembly by Louis Greenwald (D, Voorhees Township) and Pamela Rosen Lampitt (D, Cherry Hill).[40] Template:NJ Governor

Camden County is governed by a Board of County Commissioners composed of seven members chosen at-large in partisan elections for three-year terms on a staggered basis by the residents of the county, with either two or three seats up for election each year as part of the November general election. At a reorganization meeting held in January after each election, the newly constituted Board of Commissioners selects one member to serve as Director and another as Deputy Director, each serving a one-year term in that role.[41] As of 2024, Camden County's Commissioners are: Commissioner Director Louis Cappelli Jr. (D, Collingswood, 2026),[42] Commissioner Deputy Director Edward T. McDonnell (D, Pennsauken Township, 2025),[43] Virginia Ruiz Betteridge (D, Runnemede, 2025),[44] Almar Dyer (D, Pennsauken Township, 2024),[45] Melinda Kane (D, Cherry Hill, 2024),[46] Jeffrey L. Nash (D, Winslow Township, 2024),[47] and Jonathan L. Young Sr. (D, Berlin Township, 2026).[48][41][49][50][51]

Camden County's constitutional officers are: Clerk Joseph Ripa (D, Voorhees Township, 2024),[52][53] Sheriff Gilbert "Whip" Wilson (D, Camden, 2024)[54][55] and Surrogate Michelle Gentek-Mayer (D, Gloucester Township, 2025).[56][57][58]

Education

Public schools

The Haddonfield Public Schools are a comprehensive public school district serving students in pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade. The district serves students from the Boroughs of Haddonfield, along with those from Pine Valley and Tavistock who attend the district's schools as part of sending/receiving relationships.[63][64][65]

Schools in the district (with 2010-11 enrollment data from the National Center for Education Statistics[66]) are Central School (grades K-5; 310 students), Elizabeth Haddon School (K-5; 341), J. Fithian Tatem School (PreK-5; 473), Haddonfield Middle School (6-8; 549) and Haddonfield Memorial High School (9-12; 758).

Haddonfield Memorial High School was awarded the Blue Ribbon School Award of Excellence by the United States Department of Education, the highest award an American school can receive, during the 2004-05 school year.[67] The school was the 33rd-ranked public high school in New Jersey out of 328 schools statewide in New Jersey Monthly magazine's September 2012 cover story on the state's "Top Public High Schools", after being ranked 11th in 2010 out of 322 schools listed.[68]

Private schools

Haddonfield is also home to Haddonfield Friends School (Quaker, Pre-K-8) and Kingsway Learning Center (special education, ages 5 to 16). Christ the King (PreK-3-8) operates under the auspices of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Camden.[69]

Bancroft is headquartered in Haddonfield and operates an adjacent special education school and neurobehavioral stabilization program. In July 2005, Bancroft began soliciting requests for proposals to purchase its 20-acre (81,000 m2) property, as a precursor to moving from Haddonfield. Bancroft, previously known as Bancroft NeuroHealth, changed its name in 2009.

Special events

There are events such as the community sidewalk sale in the summer, and the fall festival in October. The fall festival is an event where community organizations may have booths along Kings Highway and there is scarecrow-making for kids. Haddonfield hosts a weekly farmers' market on Saturdays from May to November. There is also the Haddonfield Crafts & Fine Arts Festival, where a large variety of vendors line the main street. Another event is First Night, a New Year's Eve celebration of the arts, with a variety of performances.[70] There is also a yearly car show that takes place during the second Saturday of September. There are also events such as historic house tours and designer show houses.

Transportation

File:NJT 5166.jpg
Train at Haddonfield station

Haddonfield has a PATCO Hi-Speedline station that links it to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in the west and to the eastern terminus in Lindenwold, NJ, where it is possible to transfer to New Jersey Transit's Philadelphia to Atlantic City bus and rail routes. New Jersey Transit provides local bus service; its 451, 455 and 457 routes all stop at the PATCO station.[71] Haddonfield prides itself in being walkable. Most streets have sidewalks, and due to the small size of the town (2 miles or less from any point in town to any other as the crow flies), it is possible to walk to any part of town.

The Borough presently has a traffic campaign using the slogan Haddonfield Drives 25 promoting the borough's speed limit as 25 mph (40 km/h) for all streets and roadways.

Route 41 (Kings Highway) passes through the center of the borough and intersects CR 561 (Haddon Avenue) at Haddonfield's main business district. I-295 passes through at the southern tip with Exit 31 straddling the border. The New Jersey Turnpike also touches the town boundary, but the closest exit is Interchange 3 in Bellmawr/Runnemede.

Channel 19

Comcast Garden State [cable TV] Channel 19 is a local Government-access television (GATV) cable TV channel for the Borough of Haddonfield & The Township of Haddon. This content of this channel is shared with several surrounding communities. This is a 'Virtual Television Network', which is made possible to operate with such little effort due to TelVue Virtual Television Networks, which creates virtual television channels where communities can post announcements.
