Rich in colonial and industrial history, Trenton, the second oldest capital in the United States, lies on the east bank of the Delaware River north of Philadelphia. The business of Trenton is government; it is New Jersey's state capital and the Mercer County seat. The site of the first decisive American victory in the Revolutionary War, Trenton also played a supportive role in the Civil War. Trenton is famous as the home of Lenox china, vulcanized rubber, and steel made through the open-hearth process. In the 1980s, Trenton launched a vast redevelopment program that covered all sections of the city and brought about Trenton's economic rebirth. The Trenton of the twenty-first century is known for being an historic city that is proud of its past and that looks ahead to a bright future.
