Ocean Grove–Freehold–Hightstown–Trenton; State 33
Mercerville

MERCERVILLE, 39 miles (90 alt., 164 pop.), clings to its rural character despite its proximity to Trenton. The settlement was once known as Sand- town and later as Five Roads. The present name honors Gen. Hugh Mercer, fatally wounded in the Battle of Princeton.

West of Mercerville, State 33 passes suburban homes whose residents are employed chiefly in Trenton industries.

At 40.8 miles (R) are the NEW JERSEY STATE FAIR GROUNDS with a long grandstand, race track, pens for displaying animals, and buildings for other exhibits of the State Fair, held annually during the last week in September.

At the fair grounds State 33 swings L. following Greenwood Ave. Right from Greenwood Ave. on Clay St. to Stockton St.; R. on Stockton St. to corner of E. State St. at the City Hall.
