IDK, I just think a better capital would of been Newark or even New Brunswick. Most would be better than Trenton.

On a side note, Harrisburg is a cute city. But I do agree with State College.

And this is not to dismiss South NJ, no disrespect intended but South NJ is a whole different state. Might as well be in South Carolina at that point. North and Central NJ is where its at. The decay is also there in South NJ.

Princeton is a gem of a community. If folks want history, go to Princeton NJ.

Trenton probably made sense because it was close to Philadelphia, but not too close to make it easy to attack. It could also be reached by water.
