Princeton
Also known as: Washington Ferry, Pitch Landing
… town est. 1787 on Meherrin River in NE Northampton County. Previously known as Pitch Landing. Streets were laid off and some homes built, but it soon declined as nearby Murfreesboro (inc. at the same time) grew. A plantation on the site continues to be called Princeton. Washington Ferry crossed the river there and is shown on the Collet map, 1770.
