Princeton Nurseries
United States historic place / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Princeton Nurseries was a large commercial plant nursery located near Kingston in the township of South Brunswick, extending into the township of Plainsboro, in Middlesex County, New Jersey, United States.[3] Founded in 1913 by William Flemer Sr., it once was the largest commercial nursery in the United States. The company stopped operations here in 1995.[4] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places as the Princeton Nurseries Historic District on August 28, 2018, for its significance in agriculture and architecture.[1] The 272-acre (110 ha) historic district includes 40 contributing buildings, three contributing structures and one contributing site.[5]
