Princeton Historic District, Historic district in Princeton, United States
The Princeton Historic District encompasses several blocks of architectural heritage, including colonial buildings, academic structures, and residential properties from the 18th century.
In 1777, the district became a central location during the Battle of Princeton, where American forces secured a strategic victory against British troops.
The district contains Bainbridge House, which hosted the Second Continental Congress in 1783 and now functions as the Historical Society of Princeton.
The historic district connects directly to Nassau Street, the main thoroughfare of Princeton, providing access to shops, restaurants, and university buildings.
The district marks the historical boundary between Somerset and Middlesex counties, which once divided Princeton along Nassau Street.
