History
Built in 1925, the Airport Circle is New Jersey's first traffic circle. The circle opened to traffic on July 1, 1927, as the first such traffic rotary in the United States. It is named for the former Camden Central Airport, a small airport that operated in this vicinity between 1929 and 1957. The Airport Circle was later modified to include overhead ramps and traffic lights to move traffic through.
The world's first drive-in theater opened June 6, 1933, on Admiral Wilson Boulevard at Airport Circle a short distance from Cooper River Park.
