The county's 13 municipalities and 226 square miles offer farmland, suburbs and industry, gently mixing residential living with rural and urban influences. Mercer County is home to Trenton, the capital of New Jersey and Mercer's county seat. This culturally diverse city is on the southeastern border of the county along the Delaware River, approximately one hour from Philadelphia and accessible by SEPTA regional rail. The city has undergone recent revitalization, particularly among buildings such as the New Jersey State House, the nation's second oldest capital building in continuous use. Economic enhancements in Trenton include new sports complexes - two have been built since 1996! Mercer County Waterfront Park is home to minor league baseball's Trenton Thunder, a New York Yankees affiliate, and Sovereign Bank Arena is home to the Trenton Titans, a minor league hockey team
>for the Philadelphia Flyers. Another major addition to Trenton's landscape is the new River LINE, a rail transit service that connects Trenton to Camden's Walter Rand Transportation Center (connected to Philadelphia via PATCO) and makes regional commutes a breeze.
