The original residents of Plainsboro were the Unami Native Americans. In the 1600s, the Dutch settled the area for its agricultural properties. The oldest developed section of Plainsboro is at the intersection of Dey and Plainsboro Roads. It is thought that the road was named after a tavern that sat at the intersection, called "The Planes Tavern," in the early 1700s. The building still stands, housing a grill called "Steak and Hoagie." In 1897, The Walker Gordon Dairy Farm opened up, which, among many other things, contributed Elsie the Cow, the most famous cow ever, and The Walker Gordon Diner, which has since been closed. Other family farms moved in the first three quarters of the 20th Century, notably the Parker, Simonson, Stults, and Groendyke farms. The Parker Farm was eventually integrated into the Groendyke farm, which both became part of Walker-Gordon's Dairy Farm, which is now a housing development. The Simonson and Stults Farms still stand and thrive in Plainsboro. -- Source: Wikipedia.com
