What if I told you there’s a town in New Jersey smaller than a typical amusement park? Welcome to Woodlynne, New Jersey, a borough nestled in Camden County. Woodlynne occupies a mere 0.23 square miles, a David among Goliaths in the world of municipalities. This tiny town, a stone’s throw from Philadelphia, packs a surprising punch when it comes to history and community. Woodlynne wasn’t always a town. It started as Lynnewood, named after the abundant linden trees, back in 1681. The name Woodlynne came later in 1892, thanks to a naming conflict with another municipality. Imagine a bustling amusement park, complete with a lake. That was Woodlynne before it became a borough in 1901. The Camden and Suburban Railway Company saw an opportunity and established a housing development within the former park, setting the stage for the Woodlynne we know today. Woodlynne offers a blend of urban access and suburban tranquility. Residents can enjoy local amenities while being just a short hop from Philadelphia’s vibrant city life. Public transportation, including the PATCO high-speed line, makes commuting a breeze. Despite its small size, Woodlynne boasts a diverse community with a median age of 33. Families make up over half the population. Interestingly, as of 2010, Woodlynne had the highest percentage of Vietnamese residents in New Jersey. A small town with a big heart, Woodlynne retains its unique charm and close-knit atmosphere. It’s a testament to its rich past, from amusement park to thriving community.
