Biohazard and Crime Scene Remediation in Wenonah, NJ

Wenonah is a borough in Gloucester County, New Jersey, established by the New Jersey Legislature on March 10, 1883, from portions of Deptford Township after a referendum held two days earlier.

The borough was named for Wenonah, the mother of Hiawatha in Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's 1855 poem The Song of Hiawatha.

The 2020 United States census counted 2,283 people in Wenonah, almost unchanged from the 2,278 counted in 2010 — the borough is essentially fully built out.

Wenonah lies about 10 miles south of Philadelphia and was developed as a railroad suburb along the line toward the Jersey Shore.

The Woods of Wenonah, a roughly 135-acre conservation area maintained by the Wenonah Environmental Commission, protects a trail system of just under six miles inside this one-square-mile borough.

The Wenonah trail network links Wenonah Lake, Comey's Lake and Dilk's Pond and follows Monongahela Brook and Mantua Creek through mature oak, maple and hickory forest.

A small Tea House on Comey's Lake is one of the best-known landmarks along the eastern section of the Woods of Wenonah trails.

Wenonah's own 2025 housing plan notes that the borough is essentially built out, so its recent population changes come from shifting household sizes rather than new development.

Mantua Creek, which forms part of Wenonah's western edge, is a tidal tributary of the Delaware River.

Wenonah's municipal court business is handled through the Mantua Joint Municipal Court, which it shares with Mantua Township, Pitman and Woodbury Heights.
