Haddon Township
History
It was Feb. 23, 1865, just a few months before the end of the Civil War, when the eastern section of Newton Township was split off and the Township of Haddon was created. At the time, the area was mostly farmland with a small village located where Haddonfield is now. The newly created township was 5,286 acres and included land to the south and east of what is now Collings Road. The new township included land that would later become part of nine other municipalities: Oaklyn, Audubon, Audubon Park, Collingswood, Gloucester City, Woodlynn, Camden, Haddon Heights and Haddonfield.
