Audubon, borough in Camden County, New Jersey, United States
Audubon is a borough in Camden County, New Jersey, located between the cities of Philadelphia and Camden. The streets are lined with single-family homes and a few small shops, giving it the feel of a classic American suburb.
Audubon was established as a borough in 1905 and named after John James Audubon, who had lived in the area. The arrival of a railroad station in the early 20th century brought more residents to the town and helped connect it to the surrounding region.
Audubon takes its name from the naturalist John James Audubon, and that connection to nature is still visible in the rows of old trees lining the streets. The town has a residential feel, with neighbors tending their front yards and local parks that give the area a lived-in, community character.
The town center is easy to walk through, as the streets follow a straightforward grid and sidewalks are in good condition. For trips to nearby Philadelphia or Camden, public bus lines are available and connect well to both cities.
Three people from Audubon have received the Medal of Honor, the highest military decoration in the US. For a town of this size, that number stands out and is something most visitors never notice.
