On April 20,1926, all who
could, passed through the doors of the public school
on Warwick Road to cast their ballot in the
"Official Special Election" of the
Borough of Lawnside. Just one month earlier, on March 23, 1926, New Jersey
Governor Moore signed into law State Assembly Bill 561, dissolving Center
Township, of which Lawnside was a part, and incorporating the Borough of
Lawnside.
With that First Election, Lawnside was propelled into the local and national
spotlight and claimed a place in history, becoming the first independent
self-governing African-American community north of the Mason-Dixon line.
