The settlement was established in 1958 by the Collegiate Society of Avalon, an organization dedicated to fostering educational collaboration among regional colleges. The community’s layout was designed with a classic grid system, featuring a central civic block that houses the town hall, a primary school, and a public library. Residential streets are lined with modest single-family homes, many of which were constructed in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

According to the most recent United States Census, Collegiatetown has a population of approximately 1,200 residents, with a median age of 42 years. The population is highly educated, with over 70% holding a bachelor’s degree or higher, reflecting the town’s historical ties to the nearby university district. The local economy is largely service-oriented, centered on education, health care, and small retail businesses. A significant portion of the workforce commutes to nearby city centers for employment, while a small percentage are employed by local schools and municipal offices.

The community is known for its commitment to environmental sustainability, having implemented a community-wide recycling program and supporting local farmer's markets that supply fresh produce to residents. Collegiatetown also hosts an annual "College Days Festival" each summer, showcasing student projects and local culinary specialties. The town's public transportation links, including a regional bus line, provide convenient access to larger urban centers, ensuring that Collegiatetown remains both an autonomous community and an integrated part of the wider regional educational network.
