Haddonfield Attractions

Francis Collins became the first settler, within the boundaries of what is today Haddonfield, in 1682. In 1698, John Haddon sent his 20 year old daughter, Elizabeth, to lay claim to his new holdings. She arrived in June 1701. Elizabeth Haddon named this land "Haddonfield" in honor of her father. Elizabeth remained here until her death in 1762.

Haddonfield flourished throughout the 18th century; by the Revolution it was the largest village in the area.
