Haddonfield, NJ.
Haddonfield is a borough located in Camden County, New Jersey, United States. As of the 2010 United States Census, the borough had a total population of 11,593,[8][9][10] reflecting a decline of 66 (-0.6%) from the 11,659 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 31 (+0.3%) from the 11,628 counted in the 1990 Census.[19]
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.[20]
In 1971, Haddonfield became the second municipality in New Jersey (after Cape May) to establish a historic preservation district.[21] In keeping with the historic appearance of the borough, some candidates for commissioner distribute colored ribbons to their supporters instead of yard signs.
In the winter of 1777, the New Jersey General Assembly met at Haddonfield's Indian King Tavern and declared New Jersey to be a free and independent state.[22] Nevertheless, since 1873, Haddonfield has been a dry town where alcohol cannot be sold.[22][23][24]
