The '''Borough of Princeton''' was a [[Borough (New Jersey)|borough]] of [[New Jersey]] that existed from 1813 until the end of 2012. On January 1, 2013, it merged with [[Princeton Township, New Jersey|Princeton Township]] to form [[Princeton, New Jersey]]; both the Borough of Princeton and Princeton Township were dissolved in the merger.

The borough was located in [[Mercer County, New Jersey|Mercer County]], in the [[U.S. state]] of [[New Jersey]], and was completely surrounded by the former [[Princeton Township, New Jersey|Princeton Township]], from which it was formed in 1894. As of the [[2010 United States census]], the borough had a population of 12,307,<ref name=Census2010/><ref name=Districts2011/><ref name=LWD2010/> reflecting a decline of 1,896 (-13.3%) from the 14,203 counted in the [[2000 United States Census|2000 Census]], which had in turn increased by 2,187 (+18.2%) from the 12,016 counted in the [[1990 United States Census|1990 Census]].<ref>[http://lwd.dol.state.nj.us/labor/lpa/census/2010/2010data/table7cm.xls Table 7.

The Borough of Princeton was incorporated by an act of the [[New Jersey Legislature]] on February 11, 1813, within portions of [[West Windsor Township, New Jersey|West Windsor Township]] (in what was then part of [[Middlesex County, New Jersey|Middlesex County]]) and [[Montgomery Township, New Jersey|Montgomery Township]] (in [[Somerset County, New Jersey|Somerset County]]), and was reincorporated on November 27, 1822. The borough became part of the newly created Mercer County in 1838, and became a fully independent municipality circa 1894. Portions of territory were acquired from Princeton Township on January 4, 1928, and August 21, 1951.<ref name=Story>Snyder, John P.

===Local government===
[[Image:NassauStreetInPrinceton.JPG|thumb|200px|[[Nassau Street (Princeton, New Jersey)|Nassau Street]], the main street of the Borough of Princeton]]
The Borough of Princeton was governed under the [[Borough (New Jersey)|borough]] form of New Jersey municipal government. The government consisted of a mayor and a borough council comprising six council members, with all positions elected at large. A mayor was elected directly by the voters to a four-year term of office. The borough council consisted of six members elected to serve three-year terms on a staggered basis, with two seats coming up for election each year.<ref name=DataBook>''2012 New Jersey Legislative District Data Book'', [[Rutgers University]] [[Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy]], March 2013, p. 73.</ref>

The mayor served as the borough's chief executive officer and nominated appointees to various boards and commissions subject to approval of the borough council. The mayor presided at the borough council meetings and voted in the case of a tie or a few other specific cases.

The borough council had administrative powers and was the policy-making body of the borough. The council had six members; two were elected each year and they served three-year terms. The council approved appointments made by the mayor. Council Members served on various boards and committees and acted as liaison's to certain Departments, Committees or Boards.
The [[mayor of the Borough of Princeton, New Jersey]], was Yina Moore ([[Democratic Party (United States)|D]], term ended on December 31, 2012).

=== Merger of borough and township ===
: Additional details are at [[Princeton, New Jersey#Merger of borough and township|Merger of borough and township]] on the [[Princeton, New Jersey]], article
On November 8, 2011, the residents of both the Borough of Princeton and the Township of Princeton voted  to merge the two municipalities into one. In Princeton Borough 1,385 voted for, 902 voted against while in Princeton Township 3,542 voted for and 604 voted against. Proponents of the merger asserted that when the merger is completed the new municipality of Princeton will save $3.2 million as a result of some scaled-down services, including layoffs of 15 government workers, including 9 police officers (however, the measure itself does not mandate such layoffs).  Opponents of the measure challenged the findings of the report, citing cost savings as unsubstantiated, and noted that voter representation would be reduced in a smaller government structure.<ref name=tt/> The consolidation took effect on January 1, 2013.<ref name=app>{{cite news |date= November 8, 2011 |title= 2 Princetons vote to merge into 1 town |url= http://www.app.com/article/20111108/NJNEWS1002/311080107/2-Princetons-vote-to-merge-into-1-town |agency= [[Associated Press]] |work= [[Asbury Park Press]] |location= Asbury Park, NJ |access-date= November 10, 2011 }}{{Dead link|date=July 2020 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> December 31, 2012 was the last day the Borough of Princeton existed as a municipality.
