Trenton dates back to June 3, 1719, when mention was made of a constable being appointed for Trenton, while the area was still part of Hunterdon County. Boundaries were recorded for Trenton Township as of June 3, 1719. Trenton became New Jersey's capital as of November 25, 1790, and the City of Trenton was formed within Trenton Township on November 13, 1792. Trenton Township was incorporated as one of New Jersey's initial group of 104 townships by an Act of the New Jersey Legislature on February 21, 1798. Portions of the township were taken on February 22, 1834, to form Ewing Township. A series of annexations took place over a fifty-year period, with the city absorbing South Trenton borough (April 14, 1851), portions of Nottingham Township (April 14, 1856), Chambersburg and Millham Township (both on March 30, 1888) and Wilbur borough (February 28, 1898).[3] is the 154th day of the year (155th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

In the year 2000 Trenton was designated as an anchor city for the New York Metropolitan Area. The rapid growth of suburban New York into Northern and Central New Jersey has brought Trenton under New York City's sphere of influence. During the Constitutional Convention in 1787, James Madison referred to the war-raged Trenton (and New Jersey at large) as "a dismembered torso bleeding into Philadelphia and New York" thus sealing its fate as an important port city in the eastern United States. Trenton and its immediate suburbs are often lumped together and referred to as "Greater Trenton" by locals. The New York metropolitan area is the most populous in the United States and the fourth most populous in the world (after Tokyo, Seoul, and Mexico City). ...
[edit] History The first settlement which would become Trenton was established by Quakers in 1679, in the region then called the Falls of the Delaware, led by Mahlon Stacy from Handsworth, Sheffield, UK. Quakers were being persecuted in England at this time and North America provided the perfect opportunity to exercise their religious freedom.

By 1719, the town adopted the name "Trent-towne", after William Trent, one of its leading landholders who purchased much of the surrounding land from Stacy's family.

During the American Revolutionary War, the city was the site of George Washington's first military victory. On December 26, 1776, Washington and his army, after crossing the icy Delaware River to Trenton, defeated the Hessian troops garrisoned there (see Battle of Trenton). After the war, Trenton was briefly the national capital of the United States in November and December of 1784. The city was considered as a permanent capital for the new country, but the southern states favored a location south of the Mason-Dixon Line. This article is about military actions only. ...

Trenton is located in almost the exact center of the state (the official geographic center is 13 miles (21 km) southeast of Trenton at 74° 33.5'W, 40° 4.2'N). Due to this, it is sometimes included as part of North Jersey and as the southernmost city of the New York metropolitan area, while others consider it a part of the South Jersey and as the northernmost city of the Delaware Valley. Locals consider it to be a part of Central Jersey, and thus part of neither region. Interstate 95 and Route 1 connect Trenton to New York City and Philadelphia. The part of I-95 that connects New York to Trenton is also the New Jersey Turnpike. The Trenton train station serves as the terminus for both SEPTA's R7 Trenton line (train service to and from Philadelphia) and New Jersey Transit's Northeast Corridor Line (train service to and from Newark Penn Station and New York Penn Station). In terms of local television news coverage, both 6ABC (based in Philadelphia) and News 12 New Jersey (based in Edison, NJ) maintain a news bureau in Trenton. These news bureaus are located in Trenton because it is the capital of New Jersey. However, in terms of sports, as noted above, both of Trenton's minor league teams (Trenton Thunder and Trenton Devils) are affiliates of major-league professional teams based in the New York metropolitan area (New York Yankees and New Jersey Devils respectively).
