New Jersey 's State capital is the city of Trenton , approximately thirteen miles away, but the Governor's official residence has been in Princeton since nineteen forty-five, when Morven became the first Governor's mansion. It was later replaced by the larger Drumthwacket, a larger colonial mansion also located in Princeton . Morven became the home of the New Jersey Historical Society. Princeton was named number fifteen of the top one hundred towns in the United States to Live and Work In by Money Magazine in two thousand five. During the War for Independence , British and American armies crossed New Jersey several times. On January third, seventeen seventy-seven, the American forces led by George Washington scored an important victory over British forces led by Charles Cornwallis in the Battle of Princeton. British forces marching from New York to respond to the raid on Trenton, December twenty-six, seventeen seventy-seven, were spotted by Washington's troops about two miles west of what was then Princeton, now the very center of the town. In one engagement Washington 's forces defeated the British rear guard, although Brigadier General Hugh Mercer was killed commanding the unit. The site is preserved as Princeton Battlefield State Park . In a series of other engagements Washington scattered the British in Princeton and achieving a decisive, if minor, victory. Princeton High School opened in nineteen fifteen, at time when racial segregation was the norm in the area. Despite this, and the fact that there was a separate elementary school for black Princetonians, the school admitted students of all races. Princeton has been the setting of several motion pictures, most notably the Academy Award-winning A Beautiful Mind about the schizophrenic mathematician John Nash. The nineteen ninety-nine film I.Q., featuring Meg Ryan, Tim Robbins, and Walter Matthau as Albert Einstein, was also set in Princeton . The TV show House is located in Princeton , at the fictional Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital, and establishing shots for the hospital display the Frist Campus Center of Princeton University.
