This is the location of AT&T's "Pole Farm". In the early 1900's AT&T had their scientist's search out coordinates for the optimum area to send radio wave signals for telephone usage. After extensive research they chose this spot in my area for the construction of hundreds of telephone poles erected in a diamond shape pattern.
There was one pole per country and it was pointed toward that country, predominantly in Europe and the Caribbean. So, in the early 1940's, for example, when president Franklin Roosevelt wanted to discuss WW2 war strategy with Winston Churchill in London, their telephone signals would meet at this spot.
There is only one pole that remains standing and it is believed to be pointed toward Tel Aviv, Israel.
The beginning of the end for the "pole farm" was the launch of the first communications satellite in the early 1960's

Hyatt Regency Princeton

10/10 Excellent

"Really good experience to stay with Hyatt."

Hampton Inn Princeton

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay at this hotel! We arrived around 8:30 p.m., and the front desk clerk was super friendly, even offering us a late check-out so we could enjoy the pool, plus a crib for our baby. Our room was on the road side, but thanks to the good soundproofing, we slept very well. Everything was spotless, the bed was very comfortable, and the breakfast had a nice variety. We didn’t use the other facilities, but they looked great. Highly recommend!"

Holiday Inn Express Bordentown - Trenton South by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Got in on a Friday evening and noticed the parking lot was clean. The lobby was clean and empty with no one just hanging around. The staff was responsive and helpful. The room was clean and free of any smells. I’m very pleased with my stay and would recommend staying there. There are also plenty of places to eat in the area. "
