    Princeton embodies the spirit of the colony.  Site of one of the decisive battles during the critical "Ten Days" of the American Revolution (the battlefield is pictured here), the town is world-renowned for its eponymous university.  It has been home at various times to internationally established writers, including Nobelists Saul Bellow and Toni Morrison.  Albert Einstein lived here. President Grover Cleveland is buried in Princeton Cemetery, as is Vice-President Aaron Burr.  The town was host to the Continental Congress at Nassau Hall from June to November 1783.  Princeton, originally settled by Europeans in the 1680s, was on the King's Highway that ran from Elizabethport to Trenton (now Route 27, or Nassau Street).
