Known For The White Horse Legend

The name comes from a local tradition that George Washington rode through on a white horse in 1789, on his way from Virginia to New York for his first inauguration. A 10-foot statue of a white horse was put up at White Horse Circle in 2010. The circle, rebuilt as a two-lane roundabout by 2018, connects South Broad Street, White Horse-Mercerville Road and Bordentown Road.
