    Trenton, the state's capital, was the ferry station for travelers on the way to Philadelphia from New York.  Mahlon Stacy founded the European settlement in 1679; William Trent, for whom the city is named, bought the property in 1714, and established the basis for the modern city.  The seat of the Continental Congress in 1784 for two months, Trenton lost its position as nominee for the capital of the new country and became the state's capital in 1790.  As with other cities of its ilk, its industrial fortunes waned following World War II.
