Broad Street Park is one of the oldest sections of the Township of Hamilton, Mercer County, New Jersey. It is an area consisting of the environs of South Broad Street to the bluffs overlooking Spring Lake and the marshes of John A. Roebling Park. It is a primarily residential neighborhood. The Township's first fire company was organized there and the Township's original police station was located there for many years. Postings from Deutzville and Fairview Park are included.

1936 WPA Project
THE WORKS PROGRESS ADMINISTRATION (WPA) WAS THE LARGEST AND MOST AMBITIOUS PROGRAM EMPLOYING MILLIONS OF UNSKILLED WORKERS TO PERFORM PUBLIC WORKS PROJECTS DURING THE GREAT DEPRESSION.
My Great Grandfather was Joseph E. Parker and was the Administrator for the WPA in 1937 under the Theodore Roosevelt Administration.
