1903: NEW WILBUR; NEXT TO HOMEDELL

Journalists and real estate agents had a tough time distinguishing the line from the borough of Wilbur in the city of Trenton, and eastward to Hamilton Township. This little glitch can be seen by the real estate transactions in the graphic above. The article is from 1903 and the map has been lifted from my 1905 atlas. For some strange reason, Bromley, "New Wilbur" and "Oldenhurst" always seemed to be included in the Wilbur section of Trenton. The aforementioned neighborhoods were the beginning of the easterly development of "suburbia."
