About Smelt Brook

Smelt Brook is a small fresh watercourse feeding into the East River system, part of the broader watershed that shapes the industrial and residential landscape of Trenton.

The name “Smelt Brook” actually also reflects the early settlement era, as the area was known by this brook rather than the later industrial name of Trenton. In 1882, Harvey Graham renamed the settlement, after Trenton, New Jersey, envisioning it as a manufacturing hub.

The brook’s name, however, persisted in official records and local memory. Appearing on both historic and modern maps, Smelt Brook anchors Trenton’s geography to its natural and cultural past.
