About Princeton, New Jersey

The Municipality of Princeton is a borough in Mercer County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. Europeans settled into the area in the late part of the 17th century, arriving from Delaware to settle West Jersey, and from New York to settle East Jersey, with the site destined to become Princeton being amid the wilderness between these two boroughs. Albert Einstein House, located at 112 Mercer Street, was the home of Albert Einstein from 1936 until his death in 1955. (Wikipedia)
