Collingswood, Borough in Camden County, United States.
Collingswood is a borough in Camden County, New Jersey, located about 5 miles east of Philadelphia with mixed residential neighborhoods. The community stretches across several areas served by main roads and transit connections.
The area was founded in the late 17th century by Quakers from England and Ireland who settled along Newton Creek and Cooper River. These early settlers shaped the community that developed over the following centuries.
Haddon Avenue downtown hosts restaurants, galleries, and shops where locals and visitors gather to see art exhibitions throughout the year. Second Saturday events turn the street into a meeting place where the community celebrates its creative side.
The PATCO train line connects directly to Philadelphia, making day trips convenient. The farmers market runs from May through November under the railway tracks and offers fresh local goods.
The community follows its Quaker heritage and functions as a dry town where restaurants allow customers to bring their own wine and beer. This unusual rule shapes the dining experience for visitors.
