Princeton is a borough of approximately 30,000 people in Mercer County, central New Jersey, world-renowned as home to Princeton University — one of the Ivy League's most prestigious institutions. The broader Princeton area includes the Township of Princeton and forms part of the Trenton-Princeton metropolitan corridor.
