To the Present Time Its Churches Schools College Theological Seminary Literature, Volumes and Authors Notices of Prominent Families, and Chief Citizens the C The township Of Princeton is bounded on the north by Somerset County; on the east by Millstone River; on the west by the Province line, which separates it from the townships Of Hopewell and Lawrence; and on the south by the Delaware and Raritan Canal. When the township was first created, Stony Brook was made the line dividing Princeton from West Windsor, but the legislature has changed it by substituting the canal for the brook as the boundary, and thereby placing the princeton-basin property in the township of Princeton. The township is about five miles in length from north to south, and three miles in width; and, according to the last census; it contains three thousand nine hundred and twenty-three inhabitants. It embraces within its limits Rocky Hill Mountain, which lies across the northern portion Of the township, and is distant about two miles north from the limits of the borough. This mountainous ridge has been nearly cleared of its heavy forest, and much Of it is under cultivation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
