Collingswood is a borough in Camden County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey, located 5 miles (8.0 km) east of Center City Philadelphia.[19] As of the 2020 United States census, the borough's population was 14,186,[9][10] an increase of 260 (+1.9%) from the 2010 census count of 13,926,[20][21] which in turn reflected a decline of 400 (−2.8%) from the 14,326 counted in the 2000 census.[22]

Owing in part to its Quaker history, Collingswood was founded as a dry town where alcohol cannot be sold, however restaurant patrons are permitted to bring their own wine and beer to consume.[23][24] In July 2015, the town introduced an ordinance that allows craft breweries to operate in the town but not serve food. The ordinance passed in August 2015.[25]
