Take a fascinating journey through the history of Ewing Township, New Jersey with more than 200 vintage photographs and anecdotes from the locals who experienced it.
The origin of
Ewing Township
is directly attributed to Thomas Hutchinson, an English Quaker who purchased property c. 1676 to help colonize America. By 1687, Hutchinson owned almost thirty percent of today's Ewing Township.
In the early days, many settlers were drawn to the area because of its proximity to the
Delaware River and its untouched landscape. Once industry arrived, bringing the trolleys and railroads, Ewing began to grow. The vintage photographs
depict the progress from the community's early history of dairies, taverns, and a railroad station to its more recent history, which boasts three fire stations,
General Motors
, and the
Trenton-Mercer Airport
.
will delight the reader with little-known historical facts about the area. Included are the route of Washington's troops on the way to the
Battle of Trenton
and the
Revolutionary War
soldiers still lurking around West Trenton two hundred years after the battle. Explored are historic buildings, such as the
Ewing Presbyterian Church
, which was originally built using logs in 1712.
This history also glances at the various people who made Ewing Township unique, including Dorothea Dix, who built and later lived in the
Trenton Psychiatric Hospital
