Thomas Farnsworth, an English Quaker, is credited with having first settled the Bordentown area in 1682, when he moved his family up river from Burlington to make a new home on the windswept bluff overlooking at the broad bend in the Delaware River. The Farnsworth's cabin was situated near the northwest corner of Park Street and Prince Street, perhaps on the spot upon which an 1883 frame house now stands. "Farnsworth Landing" soon became the center of trade for the region.
Other famous residents included Clara Barton who, in 1852, started the first free public school in New Jersey in the original schoolhouse, a re-creation of which stands at the corner of Crosswicks and Burlington Streets. Ms. Barton later founded the American Red Cross. Several years after the banishing of his family from France in 1816, arriving under vigilant disguise as the Count de Survilliers, Joseph Bonaparte, former King of Naples and Spain and brother to the ill-fated Napoleon I of France, established his residence in Bordentown for 17 years, later to entertain guests of great fame such as Henry Clay, Daniel Webster and the future 6th U.S. President, John Quincy Adams.
Bordentown City remains home to an Ocean Spray processing plant. More recently, it has become a virtual mecca for weekend dining as well as for the casual perusal of its used books stores and art galleries. The town has an active downtown business association that sponsors an annual Iris Festival & Art Show in early May, an annual Street Fair in mid to late May and an annual Cranberry Festival in early October. It and the Bordentown Historical Society sponsor other events, as well. See the Downtown Bordentown web page. These activities are now readily accessed by visitors via Bordentown Station, a stop on the River Line light rail service. Bordentown Station is 11 minutes from the New Jersey Transit and Amtrak Trenton Rail Station.
