This book was released on 2013 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Founded in 1697 as Maidenhead, the Township of Lawrence was renamed in 1816 in honor of naval hero Capt. James Lawrence, who commanded the frigate Chesapeake during the War of 1812. Situated in the heart of Mercer County, the township has served as a stopping point along several transportation routes, including road, rail, and canal, linking New York and Philadelphia. During the 1800s, the town saw the construction of the Delaware and Raritan Canal and two railways, including the Camden & Amboy Railroad, within its borders. Once an agricultural town, Lawrence grew during the 20th century from a village of about 1,000 residents to a thriving suburb of the state capital with a population of almost 30,000. Along the way, the township became the home of multinational corporations, the Lawrenceville School, and Rider University. The images featured in this book tell the story of how a growing population created a thriving community through educational institutions, religion, social endeavors, and public service.

Book excerpt: This book project began in the fall of 1974. At that time, Jim Mahoney's 7th-grade class began asking some local history questions for which he had no answers. He promised to look into the matter. After researching several libraries, he found no works done exclusively about Lawrence Township. Mahoney and his class decided to do their own research on the subject. The class collected information already written about Lawrence Township, and began to accumulate important knowledge of the township. At this point, it would have been easy to quit. But the class' enthusiasm prompted Mahoney to continue working. They expanded to local sources of information: township records, letters, old newspapers, diaries, and church records, beginning to build a good framework from which to write a book. Then came the most exciting part of the project. In the summer of 1975, the students, now eighth-graders, began interviewing residents of the community. Questions and answers were recorded on tape, transcribed, and then organized. The class did an outstanding job. Wherever possible, students were involved in making this product. It was their effort, enthusiasm, and hard work that brought this book about. This reprint is a faithful reproduction of the original book, created by the Lawrence Elementary School eighth-grade class, first printed in 1976.
