Established in 1746 in Elizabeth as the College of New Jersey, Princeton was the fourth sanctioned organization of advanced education in the Thirteen Colonies and along these lines one of the nine frontier schools built up before the American Revolution. The foundation moved to Newark in 1747, then to the present site nine years after the fact, where it was renamed Princeton University in 1896.

New Light Presbyterians established the College of New Jersey in 1746 keeping in mind the end goal to prepare ministers. The school was the instructive and religious capital of Scots-Irish America. In 1754, trustees of the College of New Jersey proposed that, in acknowledgment of Governor's advantage, Princeton ought to be named as Belcher College. Gov. Jonathan Belcher answered: "What one serious name that would be!" In 1756, the school moved to Princeton, New Jersey. Its home in Princeton was Nassau Hall, named for the illustrious House of Orange-Nassau of William III of England. 

Taking after the less than ideal passings of Princeton's initial five presidents, John Witherspoon got to be president in 1768 and stayed in that office until his demise in 1794. Amid his administration, Witherspoon moved the school's center from preparing clergymen to setting up another era for authority in the new American country. To this end, he fixed scholarly principles and requested interest in the college. Witherspoon's administration constituted a long stretch of steadiness for the school, hindered by the American Revolution and especially the Battle of Princeton, amid which British officers quickly possessed Nassau Hall; American strengths, drove by George Washington, let go gun on the working to defeat them from it. 

In 1812, the eighth president the College of New Jersey, Ashbel Green (1812–23), built up the Princeton Theological Seminary next door. The arrangement to develop the religious educational programs met with "excited endorsement with respect to the powers at the College of New Jersey". Today, Princeton University and Princeton Theological Seminary keep up independent organizations with ties that incorporate administrations, for example, cross-enlistment and common library access. Prior to the development of Stanhope Hall in 1803, Nassau Hall was the school's sole building. The foundation of the building was laid on September 17, 1754. During the mid year of 1783, the Continental Congress met in Nassau Hall, making Princeton the nation's capital for four months. Throughout the hundreds of years and through two updates taking after significant flames (1802 and 1855), Nassau Hall's part moved from a generally useful building, containing office, quarters, library, and classroom space; to classroom space solely; to its present part as the authoritative focus of the University. The class of 1879 gave twin lion forms that flanked the passageway until 1911, when that same class supplanted them with tigers. Nassau Hall's chime rang after the lobby's development; be that as it may, the flame of 1802 dissolved it. The chime was then recast and liquefied again in the flame of 1855. James McCosh took office as the school's leader in 1868 and lifted the establishment out of a low period that had been realized by the American Civil War. During his two many years of administration, he updated the educational programs, regulated an extension of investigation into the sciences, and managed the expansion of various structures in the High Victorian Gothic style to the campus.  McCosh Hall is named in his honor.

In 1879, the principal theory for a Doctor of Philosophy Ph.D. was presented by James F. Williamson, Class of 1877. In 1896, the school formally changed its name from the College of New Jersey to Princeton University to respect the town in which it lives. Amid this year, the school additionally experienced huge development and authoritatively turned into a college. In 1900, the Graduate School was established. In 1902, Woodrow Wilson, graduate of the Class of 1879, was chosen the thirteenth president of the university. Under Wilson, Princeton presented the preceptorial framework in 1905, a then-remarkable idea in the US that increased the standard address technique for educating with a more individual structure in which little gatherings of understudies, or statutes, could collaborate with a solitary educator, or preceptor, in their field of interest. In 1906, the repository Lake Carnegie was made by Andrew Carnegie. An accumulation of verifiable photos of the working of the lake is housed at the Seeley G. Mudd Manuscript Library on Princeton's campus. On October 2, 1913, the Princeton University Graduate College was dedicated. In 1919 the School of Architecture was established. In 1933, Albert Einstein turned into a lifetime individual from the Institute for Advanced Study with an office on the Princeton grounds. While constantly free of the college, the Institute for Advanced Study involved workplaces in Jones Hall for a long time, from its opening in 1933, until their own grounds was done and opened in 1939. This began an off base impression that it was a piece of the college, one that has never been totally destroyed. The fundamental grounds sits on around 500 sections of land (2.0 km2) in Princeton. In 2011, the primary grounds was named by Travel+Leisure as a standout amongst the most wonderful in the United States. The James Forrestal Campus is part between close-by Plainsboro and South Brunswick. The University additionally claims some property in West Windsor Township.44 The grounds are arranged around one hour from both New York City and Philadelphia. 

The primary expanding on grounds was Nassau Hall, finished in 1756 and arranged on the northern edge of grounds confronting Nassau Street. The grounds extended consistently around Nassau Hall amid the early and center nineteenth century. The McCosh administration (1868–88) saw the development of various structures in the High Victorian Gothic and Romanesque Revival styles; a large number of them are presently gone, leaving the staying few to show up out of place. At the end of the nineteenth century Princeton embraced the Collegiate Gothic style for which it is known today. Actualized at first by William Appleton Potter and later authorized by the University's overseeing draftsman, Ralph Adams Cram, the Collegiate Gothic style remained the standard for all new expanding on the Princeton grounds through 1960. A whirlwind of development in the 1960s delivered various new structures on the south side of the principle grounds, a considerable lot of which have been inadequately gotten. A few noticeable draftsmen have contributed some later augmentations, including Frank Gehry (Lewis Library), I. M. Pei (Spelman Halls), Demetri Porphyrios (Whitman College, a Collegiate Gothic project), Robert Venturi (Frist Campus Center, among a few others), and Rafael Viñoly (Carl Icahn Laboratory).
