TOWNS: GLOUCESTER COUNTY

Community spotlight

G

loucester County remains South Jersey’s fastest-growing region, with newer suburbs and retail areas. Still, the county has retained ample green space, farms and room for recreation.

Over the past year, Glassboro’s Rowan University has vastly expanded its influence by opening a medical school — The Cooper Medical School of Rowan University in Camden — and entering a merger agreement with Rutgers University.

Those developments, along with the growth of medical and other industries in Gloucester County, boost the area’s role as an economic catalyst in South Jersey.

Deptford One of New Jersey’s largest shopping malls is here, anchored by Macy’s, Sears and J.C. Penney. Deptford is also home to two important schools: Gloucester County College and Bankbridge Regional School for children with special educational needs. Spread over 17 square miles and with 30,000 residents, Deptford projects a busy atmosphere along its major roadways. But off the beaten path, you will find a collection of small, cozy neighborhoods. Homes range from modest bungalows to upscale developments. In 1793, Deptford was the site of the first manned hot-air balloon landing in North America. An impressive painting of a balloonist is on display in the Deptford Municipal Building, where hallways serve as galleries for many regional artists.

Glassboro The home of Rowan University, Glassboro is on a tear to make its downtown more accessible and appealing to the thousands who work and study on campus. Rowan Boulevard, the new gateway tying the university to the downtown, is still taking shape. New student housing has been completed in the redevelopment area. Ride the escalator to the second floor in the spacious Barnes & Noble bookstore, serving the university and the public. Residents live in a variety of new and older housing. Step back in time at Angelo’s Diner — which looks something like a chrome toaster — still a mainstay for an inexpensive, homey meal.

Glassboro might be known as a college town today, but it was built on glass — and the sandy soil that was used in manufacturing the delicate materials. In 1779, German glassmaker Samuel Stanger bought 200 wooded acres in the area that would become Glassboro. The borough continued as a center of glassmaking through the early 20th century. A watershed moment in world history took place in Glassboro: In 1967, President Lyndon Johnson and Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin attended a summit at Hollybush Mansion that led to a thaw in the Cold War.

Harrison Harrison’s burgeoning population has led to congested roads — and, earlier this year, the completion of a highway project designed to ease that traffic. The four-year construction of the Route 322 bypass ended in January.

The rerouting plan steered Route 322 traffic away from downtown Mullica Hill, a shopping district renowned for its antiques. The Gloucester County fairgrounds, also in the Mullica Hill section of the township, host the annual 4-H Fair and Peach Festival. Another destination is Heritage Vineyards & Winery, which is open for wine tastings and tours. Development continues at a rapid clip in the township, thanks to luxury homebuilders.

Washington Township No fewer than 18 real estate offices operate in this energetic suburb of 48,000. And with good reason: Probably no South Jersey community has seen so much change in 25 years. Cows and peach orchards have given way to strip malls and upscale housing. Since many residents are formerly from South Philly, the town boasts Italian delis, bakeries and shops. The health-care industry is in full swing, here, with medical offices and hospital divisions including Kennedy, Cooper and Rothman. The school population has ballooned along with the population: Washington Township High School has an enrollment of more than 2,500 students. The TD Bank Arts Centre, a regional performing-arts venue, is located at the high school. Dining options range from pizza palaces to upscale restaurants. Look no further than Duffield’s Farmers Market for fresh veggies and baked goods.

Woodbury

Deptford Township High School

balance of urban neighborhoods, suburban developments and green space that includes a dozen parks. One of Woodbury’s major employers, Underwood-Memorial Hospital, will soon merge with South Jersey Health Systems, which operates hospitals in Salem and Cumberland counties. The Woodbury hospital, around for nearly a century, will remain open. One of the borough’s newer eateries, Marlene Mangia Bene, serves up award-winning Italian dishes on Broad Street, while the Colonial Diner, also on Broad, is a 24-7 stop for a nostalgic nosh. Woodbury’s downtown is the focus of an ongoing revitalization project and will host the first Woodbury Fall ARTS Fest with more than 300 artisans on Sept. 29.

This suburban community is named after former Gov. Foster McGowan Voorhees, a North Jersey Republican who led the state from 1899 to 1902. The town recently added a landmark — the new Virtua hospital complex on Route 73, boasting a 368-bed, 680,000-square-foot regional medical center. Virtua’s former hospital, off Evesham Road, is being demolished.

Voorhees Middle School doubles as an entertainment hub, hosting performances by the Voorhees Theater Company and local ballet troupes. The Rave at the Ritz movie theater adds to the entertainment options, and the Voorhees Town Center (formerly the Echelon Mall) is growing quickly as a mix of residential and retail space. The center added a weekly seasonal farmers market this year, and will become a dining destination with the additions of Catelli Duo, Iron Hill Brewery and Elena Wu, all coming soon. Sports fans also have a rea-

son to visit Voorhees: The Flyers practice at the Flyers Skate Zone in the township.

Winslow Winslow was incorporated in 1845 from portions of Gloucester Township. Its name comes from Edward Winslow Coffin, the son of a 19th-century glass-factory owner.

Winslow encompasses the sections of Sicklerville, Tansboro, Cedar Brook, Blue Anchor and West Atco. Ancora state psychiatric hospital is in Winslow. The town’s population boomed after construction of the Atlantic City Expressway, although many areas remain rural. The Pinelands brings many visitors for hiking and exploration.

And Winslow has a new reason to be proud: Native son Jordan Burroughs won a gold medal this month in Olympic freestyle wrestling.

tersection of heavily traveled Kings Highway and White Horse Pike. The town takes its name from Ephraim Albertson, an early innkeeper. A memorial at West Kings Highway and Station Avenue honors James Sylvester and John West Sr., local firefighters who were among six victims of a 2002 house fire in neighboring Gloucester City.

Oaklyn Once a dense forest, Oaklyn now is a compact community that flanks the White Horse Pike. According to the local historical society, the area once was known as “Oakland the Beautiful,” but changed its name in 1894 to avoid confusion with an Oakland in Bergen County.

Pennsauken Pennsauken’s amenities include the Cooper River Park and a municipal golf course, as well as Petty’s Island, a former

But the densely populated town also is home to both row-home neighborhoods and suburban-style developments. Corporate residents include J&J Snack Foods and Pepsi-Cola.

Runnemede Mr. Softee lives here, or at least maintains its corporate headquarters in this 2.1square-mile community. Other longtime commercial residents include the Phily Diner and Sports Bar and Gardner Funeral Home. The local beautification committee, helped by the public works department, has restored a veterans memorial by removing overgrown trees and weeds, and applying fresh mulch and flowers.

Somerdale Somerdale is enjoying a facelift with the Cooper Towne Center project that began in 2010. This complex on the White Horse Pike, formerly Lion’s Head Plaza, has added a Walmart to a lineup that includes a Cinemark movie theater and LA

freedom through the Underground Railroad. The borough also has a modern commercial strip along the busy White Horse Pike. Lawnside’s fire company celebrates its centennial this year. Another important piece of Lawnside history — the Mount Peace Cemetery — is among the most endangered historic sites in the state, according to Preservation New Jersey. African-American Civil War veterans are among those buried in the landmark site.

With help from the Lawnside Historical Society, Mount Peace’s volunteer caretakers have received grant money to restore and clean up the cemetery after years of neglect.

Lindenwold Lindenwold is a transportation hub, offering access by rail to Philadelphia and Atlantic City’s casinos via NJ Transit and Amtrak. Residents here also can hop on the PATCO Hi-Speedline. The name means “linden woods” in German, but an early

plan to plant linden trees along local streets never materialized. Camden County holds a number of summer events at the sprawling Lindenwold Park on United States Avenue.

Magnolia This borough bills itself as one square mile of friendliness and, among other social activities, is home to the annual Miss Magnolia contest. Early settlers included members of the Albertson family — a name that can be found on a local street and a park opposite the municipal building.

Merchantville The borough, incorporated in 1874, saw a growth surge after the Benjamin Franklin Bridge connecting Camden and Philadelphia opened in 1926. Notable residents include Raymond Arnold Cream, who was born here in 1914 and achieved fame under the name Jersey Joe Walcott, a heavyweight boxing champ. The area’s original

track, which has given way to a modern retail complex at Route 70 and Haddonfield Road. Housing development also continues: Luxury apartments are being constructed on Route 70 near Springdale Road. This summer, a developer proposed building a 171-unit complex of apartments and townhomes at the former ProBuild lumber site on Brace Road near Kresson Road. A center of commerce as well as housing, Cherry Hill is home to the U.S. headquarters of Subaru. The township has preserved much of its history, including Croft Farm, a farmstead with a working mill that served as an Underground Railroad stop, and Barclay Farmstead, a 19thcentury Quaker farmhouse. Both sites are preserved and remain open for public programs and festivals. Cherry Hill’s Barclay Farm section is also home to the Scarborough Bridge, one of only two covered bridges in the state.

Clementon Home to a glass works in the early 1800s, this area was purchased by Samuel Clement around 1811, when it became Clementon Village. In the early 20th century, Theodore B. Gibbs founded Clementon Lake Park, which was connected to Camden via trolley line. Many outsiders visit the borough for a day at Clementon Park and Splash World, a full-scale amusement and outdoor water park. The park is also the site of the Courier-Post’s annual Clementon Park and Splash World Classic, a 5K race that benefits the Walt Burrows Scholarship Fund. Another local gem is Giambri’s Quality Sweets, making lemon sticks and other old-fashioned fare since 1942.

Collingswood This borough is South Jersey’s dining room, with restaurants serving up all sorts of fare throughout the Haddon Avenue business district and on outlying streets.

Galleries, gift shops and home-decor showrooms are also abundant, and Knight Park offers 60 acres of greenery near the center of town. The downtown district welcomes thousands for popular events throughout the year such as May Fair, the Collingswood Book Festival and the Parade of Lights.

Gloucester Township The sprawling township, founded in 1695, is home to communities such as Glendora and Chews Landing, Blackwood and

Olympic gold medalist Jordan Burroughs of Winslow RICHARD MACKSON/USA TODAY Blenheim, Hilltop and Erial. Historic landmarks include the Gabreil Daveis Tavern, which was built as an inn during the Colonial period. The township also is home to the main campus of Camden County College. The Mainstage Center for the Arts has a location at the college.

Haddon Heights The borough, which developed with expansion of the railroad in the 1890s, has been named “a classic town” by the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission. Active groups here include the Heritage League, the Village Playbox and the Haddon Heights Business Association.

Town events include a fall festival and a Christmas house tour. The small Station Avenue dining and shopping district is a draw, as is Haddon Lake Park — the 73acre park with an outdoor amphitheater, and bike paths and walking trails around the lake. The town was planned around the railroad line in 1890, and Haddon Heights is the only town in South Jersey with its original passenger and freight station.

Haddon Township Haddon Township is one municipality in three locations, with residents living in

Westmont, West Collingswood Heights and West Collingswood Extension. The traditional business district runs along Haddon Avenue in Westmont, where you’ll also find the municipal building. The township is home to two theaters — the Ritz, which presents shows at its White Horse Pike location, and the Westmont, a vaudeville-era building that now stands vacant on Haddon Avenue. Westmont is also home to popular pubs, which make the most of operating between two dry towns — Collingswood and Haddonfield.

Haddonfield

The borough shows its Colonial-era pedigree through a strong emphasis on historic preservation; the Indian King Museum, where New Jersey’s General Assembly declared the state to be free and independent during a session in 1777, is among the key landmarks in town. But Haddonfield was settled by Quakers almost a century earlier. The Quaker influ-

ence is still present: Haddonfield has a Friends school and meetinghouse, and remains a dry town. Haddonfield’s early Quakers were leaders in the area’s abolitionist movement. Haddonfield is also significant as the site of a major dinosaur discovery in 1858; the nearly complete skeleton gave the world the first idea of what dinosaurs look like. A statue of the Hadrosaurus on Kings Highway is a tribute to the fossil find, while the real fossils are stored in the research collection in Philadelphia’s Academy of Natural Sciences. The museum will put the skeleton on public display next year, from Feb. 2 to May 19. Today, Haddonfield is regarded as South Jersey’s toniest downtown district, with fine and casual dining, shopping and a full calendar of events, from First Fridays to the family-friendly First Night celebration.

Lawnside The borough was incorporated in 1926 as the nation’s first self-governing black municipality in the North. Its heritage is on display at the 1845 Peter Mott House, where a free black man helped slaves find Continued on Page 72

TOWNS: CAMDEN COUNTY

Community spotlight

C

amden County is the physical center of the tri-county area, and it’s also the heartbeat of the region.

Culture and commerce thrive here, and the area contains many regional destinations, from the Cherry Hill Mall to the attractions along the Camden Waterfront.

South Jersey’s most populated county bustles with busy highways and big-box shopping. But neighborhood life stays strong, particularly in the long-established “pike towns.” And although Camden County is heavily developed, the county park system provides plenty of green space for playgrounds, walks, biking and more. The Cooper River is a focal point for recreation.

Audubon Small in size, Audubon is large on pride.

The borough produced three Medal of Honor recipients — Navy Petty Officer Edward C. Benfold and Army Sgt.1st Class Nelson V. Brittin, both in the Korean War, and Army Cpl. Samuel Sampler in World War I. They are honored during an annual tribute at Audubon High School, where a monument commemorates their heroism.

Audubon Crossing shopping center, which includes a Walmart, has helped revitalize the area. Dozens of small businesses, including Legacy Restaurant and Albo Appliance, where customers have been shopping for cooking ranges and refrigerators since 1952, also operate in the leafy borough. A newer arrival, the Treehouse Coffee Shop on Merchant Street, is a central gathering spot for music and community activities.

Audubon Park Audubon Park, incorporated in 1947, began as a home for workers at the New York Shipbuilding Corp. in Camden. It has about 500 homes, which are overseen by the Audubon Mutual Housing Corp. It is the newest of Camden County’s municipalities and, at only two-tenths of a square mile, also among the smallest.

Barrington Like many small towns in central Camden County, Barrington has nice houses,

good schools and easy access to major roadways. The borough’s infrastructure also is getting a boost thanks to a $2 million federal loan to upgrade the aging sewer system. Town spirit comes alive during Barrington Day in May, a street fair with games, music, food and other attractions, and the Harvest Festival in October. Barrington’s Old Rail Tavern, a nostalgic neighborhood bar around since the 1930s, is a nod to the importance of railroads in Barrington’s growth. Expanded railroad service and a trolley line eased commuting and drew more people to move to Barrington in the early 20th century. Barrington’s history also includes Edmund Scientifics, which started as an optics company but also operated a store featuring scienceoriented toys on Gloucester Pike for six decades before closing in 2001. The business still exists online.

Bellmawr If the check is in the mail, chances are it will pass through the U.S. Postal Service’s regional processing center here. The Benigno Boulevard facility, which employs about 900 people, recently survived a threatened shutdown due to Postal Service budget cuts. The borough is also home to Bellmawr Lake, a privately run, manmade swimming attraction. The convergence of many highways, known as the I-295/I-76/Route 42 interchange, brings heavy traffic through Bellmawr.

Berlin Borough The borough was once a stagecoach stop known to travelers as Long-A-Coming. It is home to the Berlin Farmers Market, which began in 1940 as a livestock and produce auction, and now holds more than 700 vendors offering all sorts of discounted merchandise. Many newlyweds have had their first dance at Lucien’s Manor, a banquet and catering venue. Another claim to fame: Kelly Ripa grew up in Berlin Borough.

Berlin Township The township, which is home to the West Berlin area, broke away from Waterford in 1910. Among other attractions, it hosts Sahara Sam’s, an indoor water park

Bellmawr Lake JOHN ZIOMEK/COURIER-POST that plans an expansion featuring a 2-acre outdoor recreation center next spring.

Miller Farms, which offers horseback riding on a natural trail, is another draw in Berlin Township. Pet owners in the township can take advantage of a new online service — Fur Alert — that helps return missing animals to their homes.

Camden Camden is largely identified by its struggles with crime and poverty. Local charitable agencies such as the Center for Family Services, Hopeworks, an agency that works with youths, and Heart of Camden do their part to help. But locals and tourists also know the city for its waterfront: Camden draws visitors to the Adventure Aquarium, Camden Riversharks and other attractions. Wiggins Park Marina hosts many concerts, including the annual WXPN festival held in July. Healthcare and educational facilities dominate the downtown area, including landmarks such as Cooper University Hospital and Rutgers-Camden. The Cooper Medical School of Rowan University in Camden opened this summer with urban health care as a primary mission; patients from Camden will be treated at a student-run clinic. Another university collaboration —

the merger of Rutgers and Rowan — was also approved this year. The plan was proposed by Gov. Chris Christie. Camden also is a center for commerce. The corporate headquarters of Campbell Soup Co., a Fortune 500 company, remains in Camden, where fruit merchant Joseph Campbell started the business as a preserves company in 1869. Camden is also historically notable as the home of Walt Whitman. The great poet died at his Camden home in 1892; the house at 328 Mickle Blvd. is a National Historic Landmark, open to visitors.

Cherry Hill

VIDEO Find video of covered bridge at cpsj.com/ sjguide

One of South Jersey’s first suburbs, the township is home to the iconic Cherry Hill Mall, which opened in 1961 as the first enclosed shopping center on the East Coast, and has been reinvented in recent years as a restaurant and shopping mecca. The community’s evolution also is clear at the site of the former Garden State Park raceContinued on Page 70

TOWNS: BURLINGTON COUNTY

Community spotlight

B

urlington County contains contrasting settings: The northern end, with its vast rural spaces, is home to most of the tri-county’s farms. Further south, in the towns that border Camden County, it offers newer housing and lots of shopping, but keeps a foothold in history.

Here’s a snapshot of some of Burlington County’s most populated towns:

Evesham When it was incorporated in 1692, Evesham included the village of Marlton and a surrounding area that now includes Mount Laurel, Medford, Lumberton and other communities. What’s left today is still impressive, with the Promenade shopping complex among many retail centers that line busy routes 70 and 73. Many locals refer to the township as Marlton instead of

by its official name, Evesham.

Maple Shade Agriculture once supported this township, but the railroad brought new industries such as meat processing and clothing manufacturing. The business district now includes numerous eateries, with an Iron Hill brewpub on outlying Kings Highway.

Historic sites include the Little Red School House on Main Street and the railroad station off Fork Landing Road.

Medford This Pine Barrens community has retained its village identity, with a quaint downtown and an annual Dickens Festival.

The arrival of rail service in the late 1800s sparked a boom for the township’s mills, including a local landmark, Kirby’s Mill,

Fishing at Kirby’s Mill in Medford DENISE HENHOEFFER/COURIER-POST FILE that is on the National Register of Historic Places. Tomlinson Mill Park, with a bike path, trails and outdoor fireplace, draws residents who want to make the most of the

outdoors. Johnson’s Corner Farm, with pick-your-own produce, hayrides and plenty of country-themed fun for kids, is another popular Medford attraction. The township recently announced plans to rebuild its unique skatepark, Freedom Park. It will be open to skaters and bicyclists, though not at the same time.

Moorestown This affluent town came from humble beginnings. Quakers settled here, building a Society of Friends Meeting House in1700.

A ban on the sale of alcoholic beverages, in place since the Prohibition era, ended last year when residents voted to repeal the liquor ban for Moorestown Mall restaurants.

The local school system is highly regarded, and Moorestown Friends School, a private Quaker institution, serves 700 students.

Mount Laurel Mount Laurel holds a sizable business community, hosting major firms that include NFL Films and PHH Mortgage. It’s also home to more than 20 hotels, many of them along Route 73 near entrances for the New Jersey Turnpike and Interstate 295.

Laurel Acres Park, which began as farmland, holds playgrounds, sports fields, a fishing lake and other amenities.
