Situated about 13 miles from both Princeton and New Brunswick and 25 miles from Trenton, bucolic Hillsborough Township and the surrounding area were first explored by the Dutch in the middle 17th century. Today, the town's many parks - including one with four baseball diamonds and three soccer fields - play host to activities for children and adults alike. Residents have waged legal battles to keep the area from being overdeveloped, and about half the township is open space or farmland. Highly-rated schools add to the attraction. -J.M.
