The Borough of Stratford is located in Camden County, and encompasses 1.59 square miles.
Stratford was originally a small village built around the White Horse Tavern, and named "White Horse". Prior to, and during the Revolutionary War, our patriots, mostly sea-going men, fitted out fast sailing ships with armament to capture English merchant ships. These small, fast vessels, owned by the Americans, were called "Privateers", but the men were called "Pirates" by the British Navy. The booty from the captured vessels was sold for high prices in the cities and transported by wagon and cart from the shore points through the forests to Philadelphia and Gloucester. The White Horse Tavern was an important stop on this route for food, water and repairs to the wagons after a long and hard trip from the sea.
In 1807, the White Horse Pike, which takes its name from the White Horse Tavern, was laid out from the Village of White Horse in front of the Tavern to the Haddonfield Road. The two roads intersected at Harleigh Cemetery at City Line in Camden. As such business at the tavern flourished and the population in the area grew.
