Trenton is the capital city of New Jersey, located in Mercer County in almost the exact geographic center of the state. It's part of the Greater New York City Combined Statistical Area and the Delaware Valley. As of the 2010 census, the population of Trenton was 84,913. It's an old city, dating back to when it was first settled by Quakers in 1679. It was then in the region known as the Falls of the Delaware. By 1719, it was called "Trent-towne," after William Trent, one of the leading landholders in the area. Later, the name was shortened to Trenton. During the American Revolutionary War, George Washington's first military victory was won at the Battle of Trenton. The city then became the state capital in 1790, and was incorporated in 1792. With such a significant history, as one would expect, there are many points of interest in the city of Trenton. There is the William Trent House, the oldest home in the city and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Other places of interest to visit include; the Friends Burying Ground, the New Jersey State Museum, the New Jersey State House, Trenton City Museum, Trenton Battle Monument, and the Old Barracks, the last remaining Colonial barracks in the state. Trenton is also home to several parks, including Cadwalader Park, designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, who also designed New York City's Central Park. Cadwalader Park is beautiful, with hundreds of trees, a stream, and part of the Delaware & Raritan Canal flows through the park.
