Baird Boulevard
Baird Avenue, named for Camden businessman, political leader and one-time U.S. Senator David Baird Sr., was laid out early in the 20th century as part of the development of Camden's Parkside neighborhood. It is one of the three main roads in Parkside. It begins at Kaighn Avenue, running diagonally in a northerly direction, crossing Park Avenue at Camden High School and Farnham Park. From there Baird Avenue crosses the Cooper River and Admiral Wilson Avenue, entering East Camden, where it runs straight through across Marlton Avenue to its terminus, the intersection of Baird Avenue, Federal Street, and 27th Street — arguably the heart of East Camden.
The street was known as Baird Avenue when originally laid out in the 1900s. Homes began to appear on Baird Avenue after 1906, and a few lots in the 1500 block were still empty as late as 1924. The Parkside blocks were referred to as Baird Avenue for many years. The East Camden side, above the Cooper River, was laid out by 1924, and from the beginning was called Baird Avenue. No homes stood on the East Camden blocks of Baird Avenue in 1924.
Baird Avenue was the home of many of Camden's most prominent citizens, from all walks of life — business, law, religion, and even organized crime.

Construction of the bridge and cloverleaf at Admiral Wilson Avenue and Baird Avenue — August 1948
The construction of the bridge and cloverleaf at Admiral Wilson Avenue in August 1948, together with earlier commercial development, ended the prospects for two streets that had been planned — Woolwich Street and Maplewood Street — which were to run parallel to Randolph Street.
