The Delaware and Raritan Canal (D&R Canal) is a canal in central New Jersey, United States, built in the 1830s that served to connect the Delaware River to the Raritan River. It was intended as an efficient and reliable means of transportation of freight between Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and New York City, especially coal from the anthracite coal fields in eastern Pennsylvania. Before the advent of the railroads, the canal allowed shippers to cut many miles off the route from the Pennsylvania coal fields, down the Delaware, around Cape May, and up along the (occasionally treacherous) Atlantic Ocean coast to New York City.
Der Raritan and Delaware Canal ist ein etwa 106 Kilometer langer Kanal in New Jersey (USA), der den Raritan River bei New Brunswick mit dem Delaware River bei Bordentown verbindet.
Er wurde von 1830 bis 1834 erbaut und war bis 1932 in Betrieb, über einen aus nördlicher Richtung angeschlossenen Seitenkanal bei Trenton wurde er zusätzlich mit Wasser gespeist. Im Jahre 1974 wurden große Abschnitte des Kanals zu einem State Park deklariert

Princeton Battlefield State Park
The Princeton Battlefield in Princeton, Mercer County, New Jersey, United States, is where American and British troops fought each other on January 3, 1777 in the Battle of Princeton during the American Revolutionary War. The battle ended when the British soldiers in Nassau Hall surrendered.[4][5] This success, shortly after Washington's crossing of the Delaware River and capturing the troops at the Old Barracks in Trenton, helped improve American morale.

SUMMARY
=======
Princeton is a municipality with a borough form of government in Mercer County, New Jersey, United States, that was established in its current form on January 1, 2013, through the consolidation of the Borough of Princeton and Princeton Township. As of the 2010 United States Census, the municipality's population was 28,572, reflecting the former township's population of 16,265, along with the 12,307 in the former borough.Princeton was founded before the American Revolution and is best known as the home of Princeton University, located in the community since 1756. Although its association with the university is primarily what makes Princeton a college town, other important institutions in the area include the Institute for Advanced Study, Westminster Choir College, Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, Princeton Theological Seminary, Opinion Research Corporation, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Siemens Corporate Research, SRI International, FMC Corporation, The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Amrep, Church and Dwight, Berlitz International, and Dow Jones & Company.
Princeton is roughly equidistant from New York City and Philadelphia. It is close to many major highways that serve both cities (e.g. Interstate 95 and US Route 1), and receives major television and radio broadcasts from each. It is also close to Trenton, New Jersey's capital city, and Edison.
The New Jersey governor’s official residence has been in Princeton since 1945, when Morven in what was then Princeton Borough became the first Governor's mansion. It was later replaced by the larger Drumthwacket, a colonial mansion located in the former Township. Morven became a museum property of the New Jersey Historical Society.
Princeton was ranked 15th of the top 100 towns in the United States to Live and Work In by Money Magazine in 2005.
Throughout much of its history, the community was composed of two separate municipalities: a township and a borough. The central borough was completely surrounded by the township. The borough seceded from the township in 1894 in a dispute over school taxes; the two municipalities later formed the Princeton Public Schools, and some other public services were conducted together before they were reunited into a single Princeton in January 2013. Princeton Borough contained Nassau Street, the main commercial street, most of the University campus, and incorporated most of the urban area until the postwar suburbanization. The borough and township had roughly equal populations.

SUMMARY
=======
The United New Jersey Railroad and Canal Company (UNJ&CC) was a railroad company which began as the important Camden & Amboy Railroad (C&A) whose 1830 lineage began as one of the eight or ten earliest permanent North American railroads, and among the first common carrier transportation companies whose prospectus marketed an enterprise aimed (with a priority or principally) at carrying passengers fast and competing with stagecoaches between New York Harbor and Philadelphia-Trenton. Among the other earliest chartered or incorporated railroads, only the Mohawk and Hudson Railroad and Baltimore and Ohio Railroad were chartered with passenger services in mind. Later after mergers as the UNJ&CC became a subsidiary part of the Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) system in New Jersey by the later merger and acquisition of several predecessor companies in 1872; which purchases also included the PRR's main line to New York City (now Amtrak's Northeast Corridor). Prior to 1872, its main lines were the Camden and Amboy Rail Road and Transportation Company (C&A, below), the first railroad in New Jersey and one of the first railroad in the United States.
The Camden and Amboy was the first railroad to be conceived primarily as a passenger railroad and the first to employ steam locomotives to replace animal powered vehicles on rails. C&A first purchased and operated (what is now the oldest surviving operable steam locomotive in the world today) the John Bull, imported from Great Britain ca. 1832. Its operations also lead to the important development of the iron T-rail type rail tracks that became standard around the world. The United Company also included the Delaware and Raritan Canal, an early foe and then friend of the C&A.
The new conglomerate also included the New Jersey Rail Road and Transportation Company, the first railroad across the New Jersey Palisades.

New Jersey Legacy: Monopolies and Mechanics
At the end of the eighteenth century New Jersey was predominantly rural and agricultural. The decades following the War for Independence witnessed a market revolution that changed the way goods were made and sold. To accomplish this transformation, new forms of business organizations were chartered by the State of New Jersey. Under existing legal theory, corporations were grants from the state that bestowed exclusive privileges.
A prerequisite for the market revolution was an improved transportation network. The New Jersey legislature decided that rather than spending public funds to construct turnpikes and bridges, it would authorize private companies to do the job. To ensure that these privately financed internal improvements would be profitable, the charters prohibited other roads or bridges from being built in the general vicinity. These monopolies granted to the turnpike and bridge companies established the precedent that was invoked to promote the steamboat and the railroad in the early nineteenth century. In 1798 Robert Livingston and Robert Fulton obtained a monopoly grant from the State of New York for steamboat transportation on the Hudson River. This put Livingston in competition with his brother-in-law, Colonel John Stevens, who ran a steam-driven ferry between Hoboken and New York City. The Livingston–Fulton monopoly continued in force until 1824, when it was finally overthrown by the United States Supreme Court in the famous Gibbons v. Ogden case.
Meanwhile, John Stevens and his sons shifted their attention from steamboats to steam-driven railroad engines. They came up with a plan to build a railroad line between South Amboy and Camden. But they had competition from other interests, including Robert F. Stockton of Princeton, who had plans to build a canal between New Brunswick and Trenton. A compromise was proposed by New Jersey governor Peter Vroom. On February 4, 1830, the legislature chartered both the Camden and Amboy Railroad and the Delaware and Raritan Canal. However, the canal company had trouble selling its stock, so the railroad and canal merged into the so-called Joint Companies, with Robert Stockton as president. In 1832 the legislature granted the Joint Companies a monopoly on transportation between New York and Philadelphia in exchange for a so-called transit duty, which provided most of the funds for the state government in the years prior to the Civil War.
Improvements in transportation and the chartering of corporations in the first two decades of the nineteenth century transformed the lives of average New Jerseyans. In cities such as Newark, the local market economy based on small farmers and craftspersons was transformed. The nineteenth-century mechanics began to expand their workshops to appeal to larger markets. Yet, this transformation was slow, because as late as 1860 most of
Newark’s wage earners worked in small workshops rather than in factories.
The Market Revolution transformed the home as well as the workplace. The colonial housewife, who worked alongside her husband producing goods primarily for their own consumption, found herself constricted to taking care of the household and the children, while for her husband work became more removed from the home. The colonial goodwife became the republican mother.
