KOSSUTH STREET runs south from 733 Van Hook Street, across Central Avenue, Ferry Avenue, Jefferson Avenue, and Chelton Avenue, ending at the railroad tracks. Named for famed Hungarian revolutionary Louis Kossuth, it appears to have been laid out prior to 1871, while that part of Camden was still Newton Township. Kossuth Street originally ended at Jefferson Avenue, but was extended in the early 1940s when the Chelton Terrace Public Housing project was built. |
Do you have an Kossuth Street memory or picture. Let me know by e-mail so it can be included here. |
