Trenton NJ real estate: The population of Trenton is
approximately 88,675. Trenton was settled around 1680 when a mill
was built at the falls of the Delaware River. William Trent, a Philadelphia
merchant, recognized the potential of the area. He purchased the mill
in 1714 and by 1719, the village had grown and strengthened so much
its name was changed from The Falls to Trenton.
Trenton played a part in the Revolutionary War with
many battles fought near the city. Washington surprised the Hessians
who had occupied the city in 1776. On Dec 26th of that year, he was
able to overpower those troops and take them all prisoner. The victories
in this area were said to be the turning point in the war.
The New Jersey state capital was designated to be Trenton
in 1790. The world's first full operative steamboat sailed up and
down the Delaware River daily and helped the city become well-known
around the world.
