(“mercer county” is a county located in the U.S. state of ‘new jersey’)
(its county seat is ‘trenton’ (the state capital))
(the county constitutes the “Trenton-Ewing, NJ Metropolitan Statistical Area” and is considered part of the “New York Metropolitan Area” by the “United States Census Bureau”, but also directly borders the “Philadelphia metropolitan area” and is included within the Federal Communications Commission’s “Philadelphia Designated Market Area”)
(as of 2015, Mercer County’s Census-estimated population was 371,398, an increase of 1.3% from the 2010 ‘United States Census’, when its population was enumerated at 366,513, in turn an increase of 15,752 (4.5%) from the 350,761 enumerated in the 2000 Census, retaining its position as the 12th-most populous county in the state)
(‘Mercer County’ stands among the highest-income counties in the United States, with the ‘Bureau of Economic Analysis’ having ranked the county as having the 78th-highest per capita income of all 3,113 counties in the United States (and the 6th-highest in New Jersey) as of 2009)
(the county was formed by an act of the ‘New Jersey Legislature’ on 22 february 1838, from portions of ‘Burlington County’ (including ‘Nottingham Township;), ‘Hunterdon County’ (including ‘Ewing Township’, ‘Lawrence Township’, ‘Trenton City’, and portions of ‘Hopewell Township’), and ‘Middlesex County’ (including ‘West Windsor Township’ and portions of ‘East Windsor Township’))
(the old ‘Keith Line’ bisects the county and is the boundary between municipalities that previously had been separated into ‘West Jersey’ and ‘East Jersey’)
(it was named for continental army general ‘hugh mercer’, who died as a result of wounds received at the ‘battle of princeton’ on ‘3 january 1777’)
(the ‘mercer oak’, against which the dying general rested as his men continued to fight, appears on the ‘county seal’ and stood for ‘250 years’ until it collapsed in ‘2000’)
