== Notable locations == The [[Indian King Tavern]] was a colonial American tavern where, in 1777, the [[New Jersey General Assembly]] held a meeting at which they officially declared New Jersey to be an independent state. It has since been declared a State Historic Site, restored to its original layout, and turned into a museum with guided tours available to the public.<ref>[https://nj.gov/dep/parksandforests/historic/indiankingtavern.html Indian King Tavern Historic Site Overview], [[New Jersey Division of Parks and Forestry]].
