Description
Trenton is the the capital of New Jersey, located in Mercer County on the Delaware River. The town was established around 1719 in Hunterdon County and was originally called Trent-towne, but the name was later shortened to Trenton. It became the state capital after the American Revolution in 1790 (during the Colonial era, the state legislature rotated between Perth Amboy and Burlington). Trenton became part of Mercer County in 1838 when that county was first formed.
