Eighteenth Street runs from River Avenue north to just beyond Harrison Avenue in what was originally called the Pavonia section of what is now considered Cramer Hill. All addresses here are North 18th Street. There is also a short one-block section of Eighteenth Street in East Camden that runs south from Federal Street to Carman Street. There are no addresses on this street. The street had already been laid out by the time the 1887–1888 Camden City Directory was published and was originally called Dayton Avenue, until being renamed not long after the 1900 Census was taken.
