About Lawnside, New Jersey
Lawnside is a borough of 2,955 people in Camden County, and in 1926 it became the first Black town north of the Mason-Dixon line to govern itself as an independent municipality. Black families have lived on this land since the late 18th century, and Methodists were holding meetings here by 1797. Philadelphia's Bishop Richard Allen organized the local African Methodist Episcopal church in 1811, and it grew into Mount Pisgah AME Church.
In 1840 abolitionists bought land near their Haddonfield Quaker allies and divided it into cheap lots for African Americans. The settlement was first called Free Haven because it was a stop, and for some a final destination, on several Underground Railroad routes. After the Civil War people called it Snow Hill and then Lawnton. In 1907 the Reading opened a depot on its Atlantic City line, and the town took the name Lawnside, either for a wide lawn at the station or for the Lawnton side of the tracks.
- Wagon rides to the QuakersPeter Mott, a Black farmer, carpenter and pastor likely born enslaved in Delaware, escaped and settled nearby around 1830. He bought a Free Haven lot in 1844 and built a house about 1845, enlarging it about 1870. By local oral history he hid freedom seekers there and drove them by wagon to Quaker friends in Haddonfield and Moorestown. Residents formed the Lawnside Historical Society in 1992 to save it from demolition, and it is now a museum.
- Self-governing since 1926Governor A. Harry Moore signed Assembly Bill 561 on March 24, 1926, breaking up Centre Township and creating the Borough of Lawnside. A special election on April 20, 1926, gave the new borough its own government. Banks often refused loans to African Americans, so two local lenders filled the gap and helped residents buy their own homes: the Lawnside Mutual Building and Loan Association, started in 1915, and the older Home Mutual Investment Company, from 1909.
- Jazz clubs of the 1930sAfter Prohibition ended, Lawnside's jazz and barbecue spots, among them Club Harlem, the Cotton Club, Dreamland Cafe and the Hi-Hat Club, drew crowds from all over the Northeast. Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan and Duke Ellington played here at a time when white clubs would not book them, and the boxing champions Joe Louis and Jersey Joe Walcott came too.
- The first King holiday, 1968In the 1960s Lawnside's teenagers led sit-ins, marches and media campaigns against the discrimination they met at Haddon Heights High School, and they won changes in the school's leadership and new Black studies courses. On April 9, 1968, only days after Martin Luther King Jr. was killed, Lawnside's leaders made his birthday a holiday, the first government in the country to do so.
- A Medal of Honor sailorJohn Lawson, born free in Philadelphia, served in the Navy during the Civil War. He was wounded aboard the USS Hartford at the Battle of Mobile Bay in 1864 but refused to leave his post, and he received the Medal of Honor for it. He was laid to rest in Lawnside's Mount Peace Cemetery in 1919, and a new headstone was dedicated at his grave on April 24, 2004.
