Its county seat is Trenton, the state capital. The county is named for Continental Army General Hugh Mercer, who died as a result of wounds received at the Battle of Princeton on January 3, 1777.

"Patriot's Week", which takes place the last week in December and includes the reenactment of Washington's famous crossing of the Delaware has come to be known as a "must see" for history enthusiasts.

This region is certainly a leisure destination to both visitors as well as residents.
