The Princeton Battlefield is where Colonial and British troops fought on January 3, 1777 in the Battle of Princeton during the American Revolution. The battle ended when the British soldiers in Nassau Hall (another nearby NHL) surrendered. This success shortly after Washington's crossing of the Delaware River and capturing the toops at the Old Barracks in Trenton helped improve American morale.^[2]

Part of the battlefield is now a state park, while other portions remain under threat of development^[3]
