History

The area now known as Oaklyn was once dense forest land which was inhabited by the Lenape Native Americans, until 1681 when a group of Quakers from Wickloe, Ireland sailed up the Delaware River and settled on Newton Creek. The leader of these Quakers, William Bates, purchased 250 acres on the south side of Newton Creek from the local Native Americans. This became known as the Newton Colony.

The Colony began to grow rapidly and the land was cleared for farming. Eventually two highways were laid out. One, from the Delaware River to Egg Harbor, followed an old Native American trail, which is today the Black Horse Pike. The other was known as the Long-a-coming trail, which extended from Atlantic City to Berlin and then from Berlin to Camden. This trail is now known as the White Horse Pike.

Emergency services

The Oaklyn Fire Department (Station 18-3) is responsible for fire protection in the Borough of Oaklyn and Haddon Township Fire District 3, which pays the Borough of Oaklyn for fire protection through tax money it collects from its residents. Fire District 3 covers the Bettlewood, Heather Glen, and Heather Woods sections of Haddon Township. Haddon Township highlighted in Camden County Haddon Township is a Township in Camden County, New Jersey, United States. ...


The Oaklyn Fire Department was established in 1976. Before that time, two separate fire companies served the Borough and District 3.


The Oaklyn Fire Company No. 1 (Station 18-1) was established in 1902 (predating the borough's establishment) and was located on Newton Avenue near the Suburban Lumber Company, which ironically has been the site of several famous Camden County fires occuring in the 1950's, 1980's, and 1990's. The Oaklyn Fire Co. building still stands today as a private residence. The company was formed by Oaklyn residents who had been volunteering their services at the nearby Defender Fire Company (Station 1-2), which was located in the community of Orston (now part of Audubon borough). Until the formation of the Oaklyn Fire Company, the Defender Fire Company handled firefighting duties in the Borough of Oaklyn (The Defender Fire Company was subsequently taken over by the Audubon Fire Department (Station 1-1) as of 1996). Audubon highlighted in Camden County Audubon is a Walsh Act borough located in Camden County, New Jersey. ...


The Welcome Fire Company (Station 18-2) was established in 1907 and was located at the corner of the White Horse Pike and West Clinton Avenue. Today, the building houses the Oaklyn Police Department and Borough Hall and stands next to the current fire station. The Welcome Fire Company was established when residents who wished to volunteer with the Oaklyn Fire Company found they had filled their roster and were not "welcoming" any new members, hence their name. They then created their own company.


The two fire companies merged in 1976 to create the Oaklyn Fire Department. The current Chief is Mark Quinter.


The Oaklyn Community Ambulance Corps was disbanded in 2005, and at this time the Borough has no ambulance service of its own. Ambulance calls are being handled by Mt. Ephraim EMS, Westmont Fire Co. No. 1, the Collingwood Fire Department], and Audubon EMS depending on who is available to take it.
