1909: TRENTON EXPANDS IT BOUNDARIES

Here is an interesting 1907 map by Abram Swan that shows the various "neighborhoods" that were annexed and became a part of "Greater Trenton." Even though it looks like a huge metropolis, many of the annexed areas were moving gradually from rural status.

  1. I'm wondering if Abram Swan, the name on the Seal of Trenton, is the namesake of Swan Street in the Burg. There aren't many large waterfowl in that neighborhood.
