History

Thomas Farnsworth, an English Quaker, is credited with having first settled the Bordentown area in 1682, when he moved his family up river from Burlington to make a new home on the windswept bluff overlooking at the broad bend in the Delaware River. The Farnsworth's cabin was situated near the northwest corner of Park Street and Prince Street, perhaps on the spot upon which an 1883 frame house now stands. "Farnsworth Landing" soon became the center of trade for the region. For other uses, see England (disambiguation). ... Quaker redirects here. ...

Joseph Borden, for whom the town is named, arrived in 1717, and by May 1740 founded a transportation system to carry people and freight between New York City and Philadelphia. This exploited Bordentown's natural location as the point on the Delaware River that provided the shortest overland route to South Amboy from which cargo and people could be ferried to New York City.

By 1776, Bordentown was full of patriots. Patience Lovell Wright, America's first sculptor, was creating wax busts in King George's court in England. Later, however, Bordentown became a rabble-rousing hotbed. In addition to Joseph Borden, who became a colonel during the war, Patriots Francis Hopkinson (a signer of the United States Declaration of Independence), Colonel Kirkbride, Colonel Oakey Hoagland, and Thomas Paine resided in the area. Due to well-published activity in Bordentown, the British retaliated. Hessians occupied the town in 1776 and the British pillaged and razed the town during May and June of 1778. Patience Lovell Wright (born 1725, Bordentown, New Jersey; died March 23, 1786, London) was the first recognized American-born sculptor. ... George III redirects here. ...

Other famous residents included Clara Barton who, in 1852, started the first free public school in New Jersey in the original schoolhouse, a re-creation of which stands at the corner of Crosswicks and Burlington Streets. Ms. Barton later founded the American Red Cross. Several years after the banishing of his family from France in 1816, arriving under vigilant disguise as the Count de Survilliers, Joseph Bonaparte, former King of Naples and Spain and brother to the ill-fated Napoleon I of France, established his residence in Bordentown for 17 years, later to entertain guests of great fame such as Henry Clay, Daniel Webster and the future 6th U.S. President, John Quincy Adams. The residents of Bordentown nicknamed the Count "The Good Mr. Bonaparte" (Good to distinguish him from his younger brother). He built a lake near the mouth of Crosswicks Creek that was about 200 yards wide and half a mile long. On the bluff above it he built a new home, "Point Breeze", which was located at the present site of the Divine Word Mission along Park Street. Today only vestiges of the Bonaparte estate remain. Much of it is actually the remains of a building remodeled in English Georgian Revival style in 1924 for Harris Hammon who purchased the estate at Point Breeze, as built in 1850 by Henry Becket, a British consul in Philadelphia. In addition to the rubble of this mansion and some hedges of its elaborate gardens, only the original tunnel to the river (broken through in several places) and the house of Bonaparte's secretary remain. Many descendants of Joachim Murat, King of Naples also were born or lived in Bordentown, having followed their uncle Joseph there.
