History

Lindenwold was created on April 23, 1929, from Clementon Township, one of seven municipalities created from the now-defunct township, and one of five new municipalities created on that same date: Hi-Nella, Pine Hill, Pine Valley (since merged with Pine Hill), and Somerdale. The borough’s first official meeting was held on the following May 31 in the old Fire Hall at Linden Avenue and Berlin Road. The name “Lindenwold” (German for “linden forest”) was suggested by Wimer Bedford, a local resident who had been reading a German book that included the word. Bedford sought to have linden trees planted along the borough’s streets, but local officials chose cheaper trees as an alternative.
