Collingswood is a borough in Camden County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey, located 5 miles (8.0 km) east of Center City Philadelphia.[19] As of the 2020 United States census, the borough's population was 14,186,[9][10] an increase of 260 (+1.9%) from the 2010 census count of 13,926,[20][21] which in turn reflected a decline of 400 (−2.8%) from the 14,326 counted in the 2000 census.[22]

Owing in part to its Quaker history, Collingswood was founded as a dry town where alcohol cannot be sold, however restaurant patrons are permitted to bring their own wine and beer to consume.[23][24] In July 2015, the town introduced an ordinance that allows craft breweries to operate in the town but not serve food. The ordinance passed in August 2015.[25]

History

[edit]
Stokes-Lees House, on the 600 block of Lees Avenue
Collings-Knight Homestead

The land in what is present day Collingswood was originally inhabited by Lenape Native Americans. Quakers from England and Ireland settled along Newton Creek and Cooper River in the late 17th century, establishing what was known as the Newton Colony and eventually Newton Township. Much of what is now Collingswood was a farm owned by members of the Collings family during the 18th and 19th centuries. Later a section of Haddon Township, Collingswood was incorporated as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on May 22, 1888, based on the results of a referendum held that same day.[26] That same year, town resident Edward Collings Knight, a wealthy sugar, real estate and railroad magnate, donated the land that became Knight Park. Knight was a descendant of the Collings family for whom the borough is named.[27][28][29]

Collingswood has several historic homes including the 1820s-era house of the Collings family, known as the Collings-Knight homestead, which stands at the corner of Browning Road and Collings Avenue, shadowed by the Parkview at Collingswood apartment homes. The Stokes-Lees mansion located in the 600 block of Lees Avenue dates back to 1707,[30] making it one of the oldest houses in Camden County. Sections of Harleigh Cemetery, the location of poet Walt Whitman's tomb, are in Collingswood.[31]

Geography

[edit]
The Thackara House on Eldridge Avenue, built in 1754, is one of the oldest houses in Collingswood.

Collingswood is located in the Delaware Valley, 5 miles (8.0 km) east of Philadelphia and 35 miles (56 km) southwest of Trenton, the state capital of New Jersey.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the borough had a total area of 1.95 square miles (5.04 km2), including 1.83 square miles (4.74 km2) of land and 0.12 square miles (0.30 km2) of water (5.90%).[1][2]

Unincorporated communities, localities and place names located partially or completely within the borough include Knight Park.[32]

Each commissioner is assigned a specific department to head in addition to their legislative functions. The commissioners select one of their members to serve as mayor.[6][59] The Borough of Collingswood has operated under the Walsh Act since 1917.[60]
