Haddon Heights is a borough in Camden County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. As of the 2020 United States census, the borough's population was 7,495,[9][10] an increase of 22 (+0.3%) from the 2010 census count of 7,473,[19][20] which in turn reflected a decline of 74 (−1.0%) from the 7,547 counted in the 2000 census.[21]

Haddon Heights was incorporated as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 2, 1904, from portions of the now-defunct Centre Township and parts of Haddon Township.[22] Haddon Heights is a dry town where alcohol cannot be sold.[23][24] The borough was named for Elizabeth Haddon, an early settler of the area.[25]

New Jersey Monthly magazine ranked Haddon Heights as the 98th best place to live in New Jersey in its 2008 rankings of the "Best Places To Live" in New Jersey,[26] and the borough has also been listed among its "Classic Towns of Greater Philadelphia" by the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission.[27] In 2011, New Jersey Monthly named Haddon Heights the second best town to live in Southern New Jersey, after Moorestown Township.[28]
