Trenton

Neoclassical government building with columns under a clear blue sky.

The State Capital of New Jersey, Trenton holds a unique place in American history as the location of a key battle in the American Revolution, and it boasts an impressive array of historical sites. Trenton also has numerous parks, shopping areas, and entertainment facilities. Trenton is home to CURE Insurance Arena, the Trenton Thunder Arm & Hammer Stadium, and the Trenton War Memorial. Trenton is perhaps best characterized by its slogan, “Trenton Makes, the World Takes.”
