Starr Avenue
Starr Avenue, later renamed Mt. Ephraim Avenue between 1914 and 1946, ran northeast from Border Street to Federal Street near the Cooper River and was named after Jesse W. and John F. Starr, founders of Camden Iron Works. The foundry's former site has housed Campbell Soup's corporate headquarters since the 1960s.
Starr Avenue and Border Street still exist today, serving as a convenient shortcut between South Camden, East Camden, and Admiral Wilson Boulevard.
