Haddon Avenue

Haddon Avenue is one of the oldest roads in Camden, dating back to at least 1792, when it was little more than a bridle path. The road was gravelled in the early 1820s, and in 1839 an act of the New Jersey Legislature enabled the incorporation of the Haddonfield & Camden Turnpike Company. The turnpike was completed in 1847 and remained a toll road for many years.
In Camden, Haddon Avenue runs southeast from 592 Federal Street to the city limits, in the direction of Collingswood, Haddon Township, and Haddonfield.

1179 Haddon Avenue — Huskey’s
1179 Haddon Avenue was Huskey’s luncheonette from 1949 to the early 1960s. I ate there for lunch almost every day when I worked at Pep Boys. My mouth waters for one of his corned beef on rye and a bowl of cream of mushroom soup or chicken noodle and matzo balls.

Underpass construction at Haddon Avenue & Route 130 — July 1948.

Camden Courier-Post, July 20, 1948.

View transcription
Courier-Post picture, taken July 20, 1948, of the “underpass” being constructed. Traffic used to go from Haddon Avenue right across Rt. 130 into and out of Camden. However, after the war, traffic began to increase, and the light at Haddon Avenue and 130 was causing too much of a bottleneck. It was then decided that, to fix the problem, an underpass would be constructed and the traffic light removed. Dunkin’ Donuts and Radio Shack now reside where the gas station is in this picture. To the right of the gas station was a Ford dealer.
