Hi-Nella is a borough in Camden County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. The borough is the state's ninth-smallest municipality.[17] As of the 2020 United States census, the borough's population was 927,[9] an increase of 57 (+6.6%) from the 2010 census count of 870,[18][19] which in turn reflected a decline of 159 (−15.5%) from the 1,029 counted in the 2000 census.[20]
The Borough of Hi-Nella was created on April 23, 1929, from portions of Clementon Township, as one of seven municipalities created from the now-defunct township, and one of five new municipalities (joining Lindenwold, Pine Hill, Pine Valley and Somerdale) created on that same date.[21] The borough's name is traditionally said to derive from a Native American term meaning "high rolling knoll"[22] or "high ground", though it may have been named for Nella, the wife of Lucious Parker, who developed Hi-Nella Estates in the late 1920s.[23]
The Star-Ledger included Hi-Nella in its 2010 series of articles covering "Towns that Shouldn't Exist", citing the borough's small area, population and staff, along with its use of a double-wide trailer as a municipal building. Mayor Meredith Dobbs told The Star-Ledger that efforts to force the borough to consolidate with its neighbors would be "declared dead on arrival".[24]
The borough had the fifth-highest property tax rate in New Jersey, with an equalized rate of 5.306% in 2020, compared to 3.470% in the county as a whole and a statewide average of 2.279%.[25]
