An elementary school in New Jersey is changing its name after a successful year-long campaign to end its association with Thomas Jefferson due to his slave ownership.

Hate to tell them, but the New Jersey state capital, Trenton, is named after William Trent, who enriched himself on the slave trade.

The state capital obviously needs to be renamed. It could be named after Martin G. Barnes, the first black Mayor in the history of Paterson, NJ. Barnesville. Or perhaps they could rename it after New Jersey's favorite son, Corey Booker. Call it Bookertown.

By 1719, the town adopted the name Trent-towne, after William Trent, one of its leading landholders who purchased much of the surrounding land from Stacy's family. This name later was shortened to Trenton.

Slavery was central to Trent's wealth. Trent was active in the slave trade, buying and selling enslaved people of African descent. We know of thirteen such transactions with other prominent Philadelphia men in just the few years (1703-1708) covered by trade ledgers in the archives of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania. Several of these transactions are illustrated below and a complete listing can be seen here.
