The borough was created from portions of West Windsor and Montgomery in Middlesex and Somerset counties, respectively, in 1813. Mercer County was created 25 years later in 1838. For those 25 years, in which county was the borough located, Somerset or Middlesex? Or did it actually span two counties? 98.221.141.21 ( talk) 22:27, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
When will official consolidation take place? Is the township annexing the borough (or vice versa)?
Whatever the new municipality is called, that should be the name of the new article. Just as municipalities are merging, so too are Wikipedia articles. If the new entity is going to use the "Township" label, then the article name should indeed be "Princeton Township, New Jersey."
Since the borough and township already have a "consolidated" article of sorts, I don't think it's appropriate to have three separate Wikipedia articles post-consolidation. I don't think Hardwick and Pahaquarry ever had a comparable affinity, meaning the article for the defunct township is appropriate, but this practice would be silly in regards to the Princetons. 98.221.128.109 ( talk) 04:58, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
Just need to warn, the consolidation has been approved by voters to consolidate the township and borough of Princeton. (See nj.com article). How should we handle the merge? Leave the borough article, merge it? Write it as defunct? Mitch32( Never support those who think in the box) 02:57, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Borough of Princeton, New Jersey's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

There is a Commentary by Chad Goerner, mayor of Princeton Township, New Jersey, in the Philadelphia Inquirer, December 6, 2012, page A22, explaining how this first large municipal consolidation in more than a century saves a lot of money, and how the New Jersey Local Option Municipal Consolidation Act of 2007 makes mergers possible. What the Commentary does not explain, is who gets to be mayor when previously there were two mayors. More information on this is needed. -- DThomsen8 ( talk) 20:07, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
It looks stupid to say the borough ceased to exist on December 31, 2012 when "Princeton Borough" continues to exist. Princeton Township no longer exists. It sounds more like the borough "expanded" and absorbed all of Princeton Township. Can someone point to a source that specifies something "new" about the new Princeton Borough other than its much larger size? Because otherwise, the beginning of this article needs to be edited to indicate that really, Princeton Borough still exists and just recently absorbed Princeton Township, nothing more.

Don't see any reason for this to remain a separate article. Time to merge. Who's with me? Famartin ( talk) 18:40, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
