History of Collingswood: 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 at the corner of Browning Road 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.
