Princeton, NJ visitprinceton.org


With origins dating back to 1675 as an English settlement near


the Delaware River,


Greater Princeton has a rich history with landmark sites


such as Drumthwacket (which dates back to 1835), the official New Jersey Governor’s mansion and residence.


In 1783, Congress had fled from Philadelphia to Princeton fearing a possible mutiny by some of the soldiers there. General Washington took up residency at Rockingham in Rocky Hill, where he wrote his Farewell Orders to the Army. In September 1783, he rode to Nassau Hall to receive news that the Treaty of Paris had been signed, which officially recognized America's independence. Princeton, thereby, became the first Capital of the new nation.


Princeton's central business district, across Nassau Street from Princeton University, is the heart of the Princeton Region; and Palmer Square, built in 1936, is a focal point for those who want to enjoy leisurely strolls, shopping and dining.


The entire region is steeped in history, and each surrounding municipality comes together like pieces in a puzzle that blend to form the complete picture that is Greater Princeton, NJ.
