Haddonfield is a borough located in Camden County, New Jersey. As of the United States 2010 Census, the borough had a total population of 11,593. 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.[3]

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

Although the sale of liquor has been forbidden since 1873, it was at Haddonfield's Indian King Tavern, in the winter of 1777, that the New Jersey General Assembly met and declared New Jersey a free and independent state.[4]

New Jersey Monthly magazine ranked Haddonfield as the 100th best place to live in New Jersey in its 2008 rankings of the "Best Places To Live" in New Jersey.[5]

Borough Hall

Haddonfield Borough Hall
Githen's Shop c. 1830 in the Haddonfield Historic District.

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.

Transportation

Train at Haddonfield station

Haddonfield has a PATCO Hi-Speedline station that links it directly to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and other towns in Camden County. New Jersey Transit provides local bus service; its 451, 455 and 457 routes all stop at the PATCO station.[7] Most travel through Haddonfield is in the form of car. Haddonfield also 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 highly possible to walk to any part of town.

The Borough presently has a traffic campaign using the slogan Haddonfield Drives 25 stating the only speed limit in the borough is 25 mph (40 km/h) for all streets and roadways within the borough.

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 briefly with Exit 31 straddling the border. The New Jersey Turnpike also passes through briefly, but the closest exit is Interchange 3 in Bellmawr/Runnemede.

History

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

Haddonfield was founded by Elizabeth Haddon (1680-1762), whose Quaker father, John Haddon, bought a 500 acre (2 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.[8]

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.[8]

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.[8]

In 1875, Haddonfield became the first community to cede 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 Orchestra), which is now based at Rutgers University in neighboring Camden.

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.[9]

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.[10] Amongst themselves, the Commissioners select a Mayor and may select a Deputy Mayor. Each Commissioner oversees a Department within the Borough. The current commissioners, elected in May 2009, are:[11]

The next election for borough commission is in May 2013.

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.

Federal, state and county representation

Haddonfield is in the 1st Congressional District and is part of New Jersey's 6th Legislative District.[12]

For the 118th United States Congress, New Jersey's 1st congressional district is represented by Donald Norcross (D, Camden).[13][14] New Jersey is represented in the United States Senate by Democrats Cory Booker (Newark, term ends 2027)[15] and George Helmy (Mountain Lakes, term ends 2024), who was appointed to the seat following the resignation of Bob Menendez (Englewood Cliffs).[16][17]

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).[18] 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.[19] As of 2024, Camden County's Commissioners are: Commissioner Director Louis Cappelli Jr. (D, Collingswood, 2026),[20] Commissioner Deputy Director Edward T. McDonnell (D, Pennsauken Township, 2025),[21] Virginia Ruiz Betteridge (D, Runnemede, 2025),[22] Almar Dyer (D, Pennsauken Township, 2024),[23] Melinda Kane (D, Cherry Hill, 2024),[24] Jeffrey L. Nash (D, Winslow Township, 2024),[25] and Jonathan L. Young Sr. (D, Berlin Township, 2026).[26][19][27][28][29]

Camden County's constitutional officers are: Clerk Joseph Ripa (D, Voorhees Township, 2024),[30][31] Sheriff Gilbert "Whip" Wilson (D, Camden, 2024)[32][33] and Surrogate Michelle Gentek-Mayer (D, Gloucester Township, 2025).[34][35][36]

Education

Public schools

The Haddonfield Public Schools are a comprehensive public school district serving students in pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade. Schools in the district (with 2005-06 enrollment data from the National Center for Education Statistics[37]) are three elementary schools — Central (278 students), Elizabeth Haddon (404) and J.F. Tatem (354) — Haddonfield Middle School for grades 6-8 (561) and Haddonfield Memorial High School for grades 9-12 (780). The school district serves the Borough of Haddonfield using funds mostly obtained through local property taxes. Students from Tavistock attend the district's schools as part of a sending/receiving relationship. While most students are residents, a small number of students are taken on a tuition or voucher basis.

Elizabeth Haddon School, Tatem School, and Central School all serve K-5. Each school has approximately three sections in each grade. Facilities are modern and underwent major additions several years ago. The schools all host various events around the school. All schools in Haddonfield are walkable, and many students use this as their method of getting to school.

The middle school, serving 6-8, currently has approximately 600 students.

New Jersey Monthly magazine ranked Haddonfield Memorial High School as the 14th best high school in New Jersey in its 2008 rankings of the "Top Public High Schools" in New Jersey.[38]

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. 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.
