Wenonah

Woodland trails, lakeside recreation, historic homes and a compact walkable borough with roots in the railroad era.

Welcome to Wenonah

Wenonah was founded in 1871 as a planned country-resort community along the West Jersey Railroad. The borough retains a distinctly residential character, with tree-lined streets, an established town center and an unusually large network of protected woods and trails for a municipality of its size.

The Wenonah Environmental Commission maintains more than six miles of foot trails with roughly 40 bridges through the borough's conservation lands. Wenonah Park and the John and Kathy Howard Park at Wenonah Lake add central green space and seasonal recreation.

Municipal boundary note: A Wenonah, NJ 08090 mailing address does not necessarily mean a property or business is inside Wenonah Borough. Large parts of the 08090 postal area are in Deptford Township and nearby municipalities. NJTGO separates true borough locations from nearby postal-area choices whenever the municipality can be verified.
