History The original residents of Plainsboro were the Unami, and in 1600s the Dutch settled the area for its agricultural properties.
The oldest developed section of Plainsboro is at the intersection of Dey and Plainsboro Roads. It is thought that the road was named after a tavern that sat at the intersection, called "The Planes Tavern," in the early 1700s. The building still stands, but housing a grill called "Steak and Hoagie."
In 1897, The Walker Gordon Dairy Farm opened up, who, amongst many other things contributed Elsie the Cow, the most famous cow ever, and The Walker Gordon Diner, which has since been closed. Other family farms moved in the first three quarters of the 20th century, notably the Parker, Simonson, Stults, and Groendyke farms, which are still thriving in Plainsboro, but with considerably less land today. Elsie the Cow is the advertising mascot of the Borden Company. ...
Plainsboro was officially founded on May 6, 1919, in order to build an Elementary school so that the children would not have to make the long trip to Cranbury, Princeton, or South Brunswick, leading to the building of the Wicoff School. Every year the date is celebrated with a parade, festival, and a concert.
In 1971, Princeton University (who owned most of the town) and Lincoln Properties, INC together developed the area into what it is now, a large suburban town still holding on to its rural past. In response to the development, West Windsor-Plainsboro High School South was opened in nearby Princeton Junction, then just called WWP High. Because of more growth, in 2001, West Windsor-Plainsboro High School North was opened in Plainsboro, beginning the young but heated North-South rivalry, between the Pirates and the Knights.

Like many communities in Central Jersey, Plainsboro struggles to preserve open space and keep traffic flow low. The problem appears aggravated by the proposal for the Princeton University Hospital moving to Plainsboro. The latest addition to Plainsboro includes the much awaited Village Center, which is made with the hope to make the community more walkable, but that can only fully be possible once the office parks and Forrestal Center at the edges of town are moved much closer to the center.
