Haddonfield was incorporated by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on April 6, 1875, within portions of Haddon Township following a referendum on the same day. The borough became an independent municipality in 1894.[23] The borough was named for Elizabeth Haddon, an early settler of the area.[24][25]

History

edit

The Haddonfield area was occupied by the Lenape Native American tribe, but they largely disappeared from the 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.

On October 23, 1682, Francis Collins, an English Quaker and a bricklayer by trade, became the first settler within the boundaries of what today is Haddonfield. Collins soon built a house, "Mountwell," on a tract of 400 acres (160 ha). Haddonfield was further developed 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 America.[26]

The Indian King Tavern, built in 1750, played a significant role in the American Revolutionary War. During that war, the New Jersey Legislature met there, avoiding British forces, and in 1777, declared New Jersey to be an independent state. Today the tavern is a state historical site and museum.[26][27] Nevertheless, since 1873, Haddonfield has been a dry town where alcohol cannot be sold though it can be brewed and distributed in town.[27][28][29]

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 relatively complete 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.[30] A 17-foot (5.2 m) long bronze sculpture of “Haddy”, by sculptor John Giannotti, stands in the center of town.[31][26] Hadrosaurus was recognized officially as the state dinosaur of New Jersey in June 1991.[32]

In 1875, Haddonfield became the first community to secede from Haddon Township and become a self-governing borough.[23] 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 nearby Collingswood, and performs at the Gordon Theater at Rutgers University-Camden.[33]

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 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.[34]

In 1971, Haddonfield became the second municipality in New Jersey (after Cape May) to establish a historic preservation district.[35] In keeping with the historic appearance of the borough, some candidates for commissioner distribute colored ribbons to their supporters instead of yard signs.

Geography

edit

According to the United States Census Bureau, the borough had a total area of 2.84 square miles (7.36 km2), including 2.80 square miles (7.24 km2) of land and 0.05 square miles (0.12 km2) of water (1.58%).[1][2]

The Cooper River forms the border between Haddonfield and Cherry Hill. Haddonfield shares land borders with Audubon, Barrington, Haddon Township, Haddon Heights, Lawnside, and Tavistock.[36][37][38]

Bodies of water

edit
  • Driscoll Pond, contained by a small wooden dam, is below Hopkins Pond, and Hopkins Pond flows into it. Driscoll Pond is part of the Hopkins Pond park.
  • Hopkins Pond is contained by a large earthen dam, and Hopkins Lane is built atop it. In recent years, local officials have raised concerns about the pond being contaminated with cyanobacteria that can produce toxic algae blooms.[39][40]
  • Evans Pond is part of Wallworth Park and located above Wallworth Lake with a dam separating the two. Formerly Evans Pond was deep enough for small boats to sail on it.
  • Wallworth Lake, in Wallworth Park, is below Evans Pond, and contained by another dam.

Notable locations

edit

The Indian King Tavern was a colonial American tavern where, in 1777, the New Jersey General Assembly held a meeting at which they officially declared New Jersey to be an independent state. It has since been declared a State Historic Site, restored to its original layout, and turned into a museum with guided tours available to the public.[50][51]

On the "Main Street" of Haddonfield, Kings Highway, there is a statue of a Hadrosaurus, a type of dinosaur discovered in Haddonfield. The statue, unveiled in October 2003, has been described as "the central landmark of downtown Haddonfield." The statue serves as a mascot of sorts for Haddonfield.[52][53][54]

Parks and recreation

edit

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.[55]
  • Pennypacker Park contains the Hadrosaurus Foulkii Leidy Site and is near the Cooper River.[56]
  • 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 is actually a section of the Cooper River, and the early headwaters of the Cooper flow into Evans Pond.[57]

It also has several parks maintained by other groups:

  • The Crows Woods Complex contains community gardens,[58] fields for public use, and a hiking loop.[59]
  • Mountwell Park contains a small playground and a baseball field along with wooded areas.[60]

Government

edit

Local government

edit

The Borough of Haddonfield has been governed under the Walsh Act since 1913.[7][61][62] The borough is one of 30 municipalities (of the 564) statewide that use the commission form of government.[63] The governing body is comprised of three commissioners, who elected to concurrent four-year terms of office on a non-partisan basis as part of the May municipal elections. At a reorganization meeting held after the new council is seated, each Commissioner is assigned to oversee one of the three departments within the Borough and the Commissioners select a Mayor and may select a Deputy Mayor.

As of 2023, the borough's commissioners are Mayor Colleen Bianco Bezich (Commissioner of Public Affairs and Public Safety), Kevin Roche (Commissioner of Revenue and Finance) and Frank Troy (Commissioner of Public Works|Commissioner of Public Works, Parks and Public Buildings), all of whom are serving concurrent terms of office ending May 2025.[3][64][65][66]

In July 2019, Robert Marshall was selected to fill the seat as commissioner that became vacant following the resignation of John Moscatelli the previous month.[67] Marshall served on an interim basis until the November 2019 general election,[68] when voters elected Colleen Bianco Bezich to serve the balance of the term of office through May 2021.[69]

In 2018, the borough had an average property tax bill of $15,182, the highest in the county (though the mini municipality of Tavistock had an average bill of $31,376 for its three homes), compared to an average bill of $8,767 statewide.[70]

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. From May through August 2021, the Haddonfield Police issued an average of 395 tickets per month.[71]

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 while asbestos was being 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.

Private schools

edit

Haddonfield Friends School, a Quaker school that dates back to 1786, served 167 students in Pre-K through eighth grade.[130][131]

Kingsway Learning Center provides special education for students from ages birth to 14 at the Haddonfield campus, which is home to the school's Early Intervention Program and its Elementary Program.[132] The school closed down in 2019, and was purchased by the Haddonfield Board of Education in February 2023 for $1.495 million.[133][134] The district plans on converting the building into a fullday kindergarten and preschool by 2025.[135]

Christ the King Regional School, founded in 1940, serves students in Pre-K3 through eighth grade and operates under the auspices of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Camden.[136][137]

Bancroft School, founded in Haddonfield in 1883 and located there until 2017, is 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.[138] Bancroft is now located in neighboring Mount Laurel, but during the late 2010s, redevelopment of the Bancroft property in Haddonfield became a locally contentious issue and remains to be resolved.[139]

The Beechwood School, founded in 1951, is a private pre-school educating children 2.5 through 6 years old.[140]

Special events

edit

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 was held in town until 2016.[141] 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.

There is also an annual skirmish that takes place on Kings Highway East in June every year, hosted by the Haddonfield Historical Society. Residents of Haddonfield dress as redcoats and militia men, reenacting the battle that took place as the British retreated from the Battle of Red Bank.[142] Their efforts to "annoy" the redcoats[143] worked as Gen. Washington defeated the British army at the Battle of Monmouth a month later.[144] The event includes many additional activities such as a yelling contest, colonial dancing, pillory prisoners, character reenactors, and tours of Historic Haddonfield.[145]

Transportation

edit

Haddonfield prides itself on being very walkable; most streets have sidewalks, and due to the small size of the town—2 miles (3.2 km) or less from any point in Haddonfield to any other as the crow flies—it is possible to walk to any part of the community. 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.
