Description From Owner:

Pop. 431. In Blandford-Blenheim T., Oxford C., on Homer's Cr., and C. Rds. 2 & 3, 22 km. E of Woodstock.
The place was first known as Governor's Road Settlement, and a post office was opened here in 1793 during the clearing ofthe Dundas Rd., also known as Governor's Rd.
The place was renamed for Princeton, NJ, by early settler Cot. Thomas Hornor (1767-1834) a native of New Jersey, who settled here in 1795 and built the first sawmill in Oxford C.
Princeton was the site of a famous murder in 1890, though it isn't known why the case inspired so much interest, since there was never any doubt as to the guilt of the murderer.
Reginald Birchall was found guilty of the murder of a young man named Benwell, whom he had lured to Canada as a prospective settler. Benwell is buried in Princeton Cemetery.
