Hi-Nella is a borough in Camden County, New Jersey, United States. As of the 2010 United States Census, the borough's population was 870,[7][8][9] reflecting a decline of 159 (-15.5%) from the 1,029 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn declined by 16 (-1.5%) from the 1,045 counted in the 1990 Census.[17]
The Borough of Hi-Nella was created on April 23, 1929, from Clementon Township, 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.[18] The borough's name derives from a Native American term meaning "high rolling knoll"[19] 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.[20]
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".[21]
Geography
According to the United States Census Bureau, Hi-Nella borough had a total area of 0.231 square miles (0.597 km2), all of which was land.[1][2]
Hi-Nella borders the Camden County municipalities of Gloucester Township, Somerdale and Stratford.

"Board Votes Hi-Nella Into Regional District; This Was A Key Step In Hi-Nella's Longtime Effort To Send Its Students To Schools In Nearby Sterling.", The Philadelphia Inquirer, November 22, 1996. Accessed October 5, 2012. "It took only a few minutes last night for the Sterling school board to vote unanimously to accept Hi-Nella as a member of the regional district.... The vote makes use of a new law that could end Hi-Nella's five-year effort to release its dozen high school students from relatively distant Collingswood and Oaklyn schools in favor of Sterling, which is within walking distance of most Hi-Nella homes."
