Subject: Re: Grover's Mill, NJ (fwd)

I grew up near there. As with so many named places in the east, it is a
distinct village but not formally incorporated or otherwise politically
distinguished. It is centered around (surprise) Grover's mill and its
millpond. It's still there, though it's now been more-or-less subsumed into
the Greater Princeton complex, and is more or less continuous with Princeton
Junction and Plainsboro. It's on the northern edge of West Windsor Township.
It does appear on a variety of local maps, including our Princeton title,
and the more general Mercer County titles by Patton and Hagstrom. It also
appears on USGS 7.5" quad "Hightstown, NJ" though my copy was last revised
1981, and the area bears little resemblance any more...
