Eldridge Park is anunincorporated community located withinLawrence Township inMercer County, in theU.S. state ofNew Jersey.[2] The neighborhood is named for Stephen Eldridge, a farm owner in the township in the early 20th century. The neighborhood itself was established in 1906 as a settlement along the Trenton & Princeton Traction Companytrolleyline and Lawrence Road (U.S. Route 206) for European immigrants to purchase small houses in the suburbs ofTrenton. The growing population led to the construction of the Eldridge Park Elementary School and St. Ann's, the township's firstRoman Catholic church.[3][4] As it was in the past, the area is mostly made up of small houses with businesses clustered around US 206.[2]
