Nassau Hall, the Battle of Princeton and the 2013 merger.
The name Princetown first appears in 1724. The College of New Jersey moved here in 1756 and became Princeton University; Nassau Hall briefly served as the nation’s capitol. Washington won the Battle of Princeton in January 1777.
The borough split from the township in 1894 over school taxes, and the two merged again on January 1, 2013. Morven and then Drumthwacket have served as the governor’s residence.
The Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton Plasma Physics Lab and ETS are here. US 206 and Route 27 meet downtown, and the Dinky runs to Princeton Junction on the Northeast Corridor.
