Lindenwold Borough Lindenwold became a borough in 1929, and as the last municipality formed from parts of Clementon Township, took in land other towns hadn't included. The name, in German, means linden woods.
Apartments make up about half of the borough's housing, and residents move frequently.
To help stabilize that situation and to enhance the borough's identity apart from its association with the High-Speed Line, officials see promise in developing a center of town and are examining its master plan. Residents enjoy Lindenwold's accessibility, location, and community spirit. There are many dedicated people who organize and get involved in midget football, Little League, cheerleading and children's programs, such as arts and crafts at the library. Students in elementary grades go to local Lindenwold schools. Overbrook Regional Junior High in Lindenwold and Overbrook Regional High School in Pine Hill are under the aegis of the Lower Camden County Regional School District.
