Plainsboro Township, Township administration center in Middlesex County, New Jersey, US
Plainsboro Township is a municipality in Middlesex County, New Jersey, governed by a five-member committee that oversees local affairs. The township is connected to major regional roads and maintains an extensive network of local streets to serve its residents.
The area attracted Dutch settlers in the 17th century seeking agricultural opportunities on the land. The township was formally established in 1919 by dividing portions of neighboring municipalities to create a separate administrative entity.
The Lenape people, particularly the Unami group, were the original inhabitants of this land. Their presence shaped the landscape and place names that remain visible in the region today.
The township is easily accessible via U.S. Route 1 and other regional connections. Visitors will find a well-developed road network that connects to major facilities and surrounding areas.
Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center is a major healthcare facility that serves the township and surrounding region with emergency and specialized medical services. This hospital is one of the area's most significant employers and service providers.
