Trenton was a major player in the iron and steel industry back in the 1800's. The giant New Jersey Steel plant, along the river, and the Phoenix Iron and Steel plant, along with John A. Roebling's manufacturing plant were integral parts of the Trenton industrial scene. Many of our neighborhoods were established in the surrounding area, as hundreds of immigrants migrated to Trenton for the many jobs the mills offered.
