dc.descriptionThe William Trent House is located at what was known in early colonial times as the Falls of the Delaware. William Trent built his country home north of Philadelphia, in what was known as West Jersey, on these lands about 1719. It was a large, imposing brick structure, built in the newest fashion. An �allee� of English cherry trees led from the entrance down to the ferry landing. Nearby, there were numerous outbuildings as well as grist, saw, and fulling mills along the Assunpink Creek. In 1720 Trent laid out a settlement, which he incorporated and named �Trent Town.� By 1721 he and his family made the House their full-time residence until his death in 1724.
