Washington Road Elm Allée, Historic tree-lined avenue in West Windsor Township, United States
The Washington Road Elm Allée extends for 0.7 miles along both sides of Washington Road, featuring rows of Princeton Elm trees reaching 60 feet in height.
Princeton Nurseries, the largest commercial plant nursery in the United States during its time, planted 136 elm trees along this avenue in the mid-1920s.
The elm-lined avenue demonstrates the early 20th-century American approach to road design, incorporating natural elements into suburban planning and development.
Located at coordinates 40.334667°N and 74.642139°W, the site connects with the Delaware and Raritan Canal jogging path and leads to Princeton University campus.
The allée features Princeton Elm trees, a specific variety developed to resist Dutch elm disease, with surviving specimens measuring 24 to 26 inches in diameter.
