Palmer Square in downtown Princeton, 2013.

Princeton, New Jersey is a town of ~30,000 people[1] in the central part of New Jersey, home to Princeton University, and situated halfway between Philadelphia and New York City and an hour's drive from either city.

Princeton, which was founded before the American Revolutionary War, now styles itself formally as a municipality with a borough form of government due to its consolidation of the Borough of Princeton (which encompassed the downtown area) and Princeton Township (which was the surrounding suburbs) on of Jan. 1, 2013. Both the former Township and Borough are now defunct. Informally, people may now refer to the "town of Princeton".
