TRENTON MEETING OF FRIENDS
of the Religious Society of Friends (Quaker)
Since 1678
'The site of modern-day Trenton was once occupied by the Sanhican, a branch of the Delaware tribe who called the area Assunpink. The name meant "stone in the water" and referred to the rocky falls in the nearby portion of the Delaware River. The first permanent European settlers arrived in December of 1678, when the English Quaker Mahlon Stacy arrived at what he called the "falls of the Delaware."' (quoted from city data for Trenton) Quaker Meeting for Worship has been continuous from that arrival.
