Accessed November 5, 2015. "In 1681, area settlers acquired 1,600 acres along Newton Creek, including the land that today makes up the borough. The original 110 acres, formerly called Lynnewood, were owned by Mark Newbie. The land remained in the Newbie family until 1784, when Isaac Cooper obtained title. The borough of Woodlynne was incorporated in 1901."〕 named for the linden trees in the area.〔Hutchinson, Viola L. (''The Origin of New Jersey Place Names'' ), New Jersey Public Library Commission, May 1945. Accessed November 5, 2015.〕 The name was changed from Lynnewood to Woodlynee in 1892, due to conflicts with the name of another municipality.〔Staff. ("Woodlynne: A growing community of immigrants" ), ''Courier-Post'', October 19, 2006. Accessed November 5, 2015. "In 1892, Woodlynne was known as Lynnewood, but town officials reversed the elements after discovering that the name was already in use elsewhere.... Some of the Linden trees that helped give the town earn its name still stand behind 167 Evergreen Ave."〕 Woodlynne Amusement Park, which encompassed Woodlynne Lake (no longer in existence), operated between the years 1895 and 1914 in the area that now comprises the town of Woodlynne. The New Camden Land Improvement Company commissioned the creation of Woodlynne Amusement Park on the estate of Charles M. Cooper in 1892. A fire destroyed the park in 1914. The roller coaster that once stood in Woodlynne Amusement Park now resides in Clementon Amusement Park and Splash World Waterpark in Clementon. Homes built over the old lake tend to flood in the basements during heavy rainstorms. The Camden and Suburban Railway Company, formed in 1896, established a housing development in a section of Woodlynne Amusement Park, which contributed to its incorporation as Woodlynne Borough in 1901. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Woodlynne, New Jersey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
