Princeton nears century of cityhood
Back in the 1830s there was a village called Princeton. This small community grew and prospered until finally, on Feb. 20, 1909, a move was made to incorporate created the City of Princeton. When Feb. 20, 2009 arrives, the city will start celebrating the centennial of its existence.
“What a lot of people don’t know is that we’re
celebrating the incorporation,” said Connie Shumate of the Princeton
Public Library. “Because before there was a City of Princeton, there
was a village of Princeton as early as 1837. On Feb. 20, 1909, the city
was incorporated, and if you know the history of the area, you know
that the incorporation of the Virginian Railway and the city went
hand-in-hand.”
