IN PRINT: What's the difference between the township and borough?
Have no idea? Well, here's a map. Princeton Township and Princeton Borough are one of New Jersey's many "doughnut and hole" communities, where the smaller town is inside the larger one.

It's also one reason, many say, that the state has the nation's highest property taxes.Check out this not-so-brief explainer on AllPrinceton.com about why the two municipalities are divided--and what's being done to bring them back together.
