Haddon Heights, New Jersey Relocation Guide

Haddon Heights is home to 7,547 residents and cover 1.6 square miles within Camden County New Jersey. Haddon is located approximately 4.9 miles from the city of Camden, NJ and about 10 miles from Philadelphia, PA.

Haddon Heights is rich in history, the city was first settled in 1699 when a one-room, brick house was constructed later in 1713 another farm house near was constructed along with a mill race and fulling mill.

In 1890 Benjamin A. Lippincott was allowed to construct a passenger station in the center of his land for the Atlantic City Railroad Company, which lead to Lippincott filling a grid street plan with Camden County to develop a community. He named it Haddon Heights because of it proximity to Haddonfield and its high elevation.

Large, comfortable, Princess Anne four squares, and colonial revival type houses were constructed that appealed to prosperous middle class families moving from the cities. By 1904, Haddon Heights was large enough to incorporate as a borough and elected Lippincott mayor. A small downtown grew near the railroad and the White Horse Pike and eight churches and a synagogue were built.

An area of old Center Township, known as Fairfield Estates, voted in 1926 to become part of Haddon Heights. This land was developed for more single family housing through the 1940s and 1950s. Even though rail passenger service ceased in July 1965, Haddon Heights remains a typical turn of the 20th century railroad suburb with tree-shaded streets and comfortable homes that still "appeal to the inhabitants and the observer as being of a class bordering on, if not quite, exclusive."

Today Haddon Heights is a small community located in the southern part of New Jersey. Audubon, Barrington, Bellmawr, Haddonfield, and Mount Ephraim border Haddon Heights.

The Haddon Heights School District serves the Camden County, New Jersey communities of Haddon Heights, Barrington, and Lawnside.
