I always considered Deutzville to be similar to my Bromley neighborhood; both border Trenton, and are far removed from the more affluent Hamilton areas of Hamilton Square, Yardville and other areas with their well maintained streets, litter free sidewalks and generally more "suburban" in character. Deutzville has a very interesting history. I'm sure a search of this blog will turn up information on the Deutz jewelry manfuacturing company and other interesting looks at the area that once was a part of the "Lalor Tract."

1889: DEUTZVILLE: A FORGOTTEN TOWN?

Tom, my maternal grandparents lived on the last block of Second St facing Riverview Cemetary. I wonder if their home was part of this tract.
