Europeans settled near Newton Creek in the late 17th Century, establishing what was known as the Newton Colony and eventually Newton Township, New Jersey. Much of what is now Collingswood was a farm owned by members of the Collings family during the 18th and 19th Centuries. The 1820s-era house of the Collings family, known as the Collings-Knight house, still stands near the corner of the White Horse Pike and Collings Avenue. Collingswood incorporated as a separate borough in 1888, leaving Haddon Township. That same year, Edward Collings Knight, a wealthy philanthropist from Philadelphia, donated the land that became Knight Park. Knight was a descendant of the Collings family for whom the borough is named.

Collingswood has several historic homes, including the Stokes-Lees mansion, which dates back to the 18th Century, making it one of the oldest houses in Camden County.

Collingswood is located at 395458N, 75429W (39.916141, -75.074671)GR1.
