10th Street

Tenth Street is one of Camden’s longest streets, running north to south through the city from State Street in North Camden through Cramer Hill and Whitman Park neighborhoods to Morgan Village in South Camden. The block numbering begins at Federal Street, the traditional baseline for Camden’s street grid.

Records here span from the 1870s through the 1970s.
