Additional Description: In 1717 Joseph Borden settled here, purchased substantial parcels of land, and changed the town's name to Borden's Towne. He started a packet line from Philadelphia to Bordentown in 1740. Travelers would stop and rest in Borden's Towne, and then board the Borden State for Perth Amboy where they would make their ferry boat connections to New York.
