| Publisher Description: Modern Haddon Township emerged from Quaker roots that date back to the 1680s. Originally named Newton Township, the municipality was incorporated as the Township of Haddon in 1865. The township s current boundaries developed with the formation of neighboring towns. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the previously agrarian Haddon Township shifted dramatically with the introduction of railroad and highway systems, evolving into a suburban community proud of its excellent schools and its recreational, athletic, and entertainment facilities. Haddon Township journeys through the buildings, businesses, and other landmarks that tell the story of the township s development. It celebrates those who have served the township, chronicles parades and other events, and visits popular gathering places like Crystal Lake, Green Valley, and Newton Creek." |
