Sitting directly north of Trenton and surrounded by schools that include the College of New Jersey, Princeton University, and Mercer County Community College, Lawrence Township is a beautiful community that’s home to Rider University – making this an ideal location for students. This heavily wooded community contains beautiful, historic architecture that dates back to the American Revolution, a rural atmosphere that belies its proximity to Trenton, the headquarters of Bristol-Myers Squibb, and miles of parks. In fact, it’s often said that Lawrence is a town where “nature smiles for 22 miles.”
Lawrence Township dates back to 1697, when it was part of the Maidenhead Township. The name was changed in 1816 in honor of Captain James Lawrence, a hero of the War of 1812. Its Main Street Historic District was one of the first historic districts named in New Jersey. The Anderson-Brearley Tavern, which dates back to 1758, is located on Main Street, as is the Lawrenceville Presbyterian Church. While the church was built in 1764, the adjacent cemetery dates back to 1713.
Beauty, history, and its proximity to universities isn’t the only draw to Lawrence Township. The town provides an ideal location, minutes from Trenton, an hour from both Manhattan to the northeast and Philadelphia to the southwest.
