Audubon is a borough in Camden County, in the southern portion of the U.S. state of New Jersey.

The area that was to become Audubon was initially settled in the late 17th Century by various land owners and was primarily used for farms and mills.

Samuel Nicholson Rhodes, a local naturalist and author, owned this farm, which he named "Cedarcroft", from 1898–1912.

When the Atlantic City Railroad arrived in the 1880s the local farms were subdivided into the smaller communities of Audubon, Cedarcroft and Orston.

Residential development began when both Audubon and Orston had train stations built in the 1890s.

On March 13, 1905, through an act of the New Jersey Legislature, Audubon was created as a borough from portions of Haddon Township.

[1][2] Unincorporated communities, localities and place names located partially or completely within the borough include Orston.

[26][27][28] The climate in the area is characterized by hot, humid summers and generally mild to cool winters.

[29] The 2010 United States census counted 8,819 people, 3,600 households, and 2,293 families in the borough.

[36] As of the 2000 United States census[15] there were 9,182 people, 3,673 households, and 2,387 families residing in the borough.

[37][35] Audubon borough operates under the Walsh Act commission form of New Jersey municipal government.

[46][47][48] For the 119th United States Congress, New Jersey's 1st congressional district is represented by Donald Norcross (D, Camden).

At a reorganization meeting held in January after each election, the newly constituted Board of Commissioners selects one member to serve as Director and another as Deputy Director, each serving a one-year term in that role.

[60][53][61][62][63] Camden County's constitutional officers are: Clerk Pamela Rosen Lampitt (D, Cherry Hill, 2029)[64][65] Sheriff Chuck Billingham (D, Gloucester City, 2027)[66][67] and Surrogate Michelle Gentek-Mayer (D, Gloucester Township, 2025).

This continued until the 2009–2010 school year when they were reconfigured so that Haviland is K–2 and Mansion serves grades 3–6.
