The city is in Mille Lacs and Sherburne Counties in Minnesota. It has a population of 5,000, and the majority of the city residents live in Mille Lacs County. John S. Prince, Richard Chute, James W. Gillian, and Dorilus Morrison platted the community in 1855. Its location near the Rum River and West Branch was a critical influence on the town's development. Daniel Stanchfield was the leader of an expedition to search for the Rum River's potential. They discovered a vast forest of white pine along with the current site for Princeton, on the Rum River, her tributaries, and the West Branch Rum River. This led to the development of three sawmills in the community.

Another important industry in the area was brick-making. The industry developed due to the presence of clay beds in the northeast part of the city. During the 1920s, several brick industries existed in the area. They created more than 20 million bricks yearly from 1889 to the 1920s, and when the brick industry started to decline, the area ceased to exist. Years later, bricks stopped being made in the city. It was often said that when companies were ordering bricks, they would specify that it should be "Princeton brick."

Business in the City

Princeton High School is located in the community. The students of the school have been known to perform exceptional feats, an example of such is an attempt to break a Guinness Book of Records title which the Princeton High School Student Council organized, it was an attempt to break a record for simultaneously erupting coke geysers, hundreds of students participated, and the number of participants exceeded three thousand students. Still, the drawback to setting the record was the lack of a Guinness Book of Records personnel to officiate the event. Because of it, it never made it to the record. Students said they started from a plan for a graduation prank. This effort put the small town on the map as it put the city on NBC News affiliate KARE 11.
