Princeton: The University, the Institute, and a Revolutionary Battlefield
Princeton consolidated its borough and township governments in 2013 into a single municipality covering 18 square miles in Mercer County. The population is approximately 30,000. Princeton University, founded in 1746 as the College of New Jersey, is the fourth-oldest college in the United States and one of eight Ivy League institutions. The university's main campus along Nassau Street contains Nassau Hall, the 1756 structure that served briefly as the seat of the Continental Congress in 1783.
The Institute for Advanced Study, founded in 1930 and separate from the university, occupies a 600-acre campus at the edge of town. Albert Einstein was among the founding faculty and lived at 112 Mercer Street until his death in 1955. J. Robert Oppenheimer directed the institute after World War II.
Princeton Battlefield State Park preserves the site of the January 3, 1777 battle in which Continental forces under George Washington defeated British regulars ten days after the crossing of the Delaware and the Battle of Trenton. The Princeton Battle Monument at the northern edge of town commemorates the engagement.
McCarter Theatre Center, on the university campus, operates as a regional theater and performance venue. The Princeton Shopping Center on Harrison Street anchors local retail, and Palmer Square at the corner of Nassau and Witherspoon forms the commercial heart of downtown.
