About Princeton

Princeton is a welcoming small town of about 8,300 people in southwestern Indiana, located roughly thirty minutes north of Evansville along U.S. 41. As the Gibson County seat, it offers a quiet, affordable pace of living with quick access to regional shopping, dining, and healthcare. A major anchor for the local economy is the Toyota Indiana plant just south of town, which provides steady employment and supports a thriving network of nearby businesses.

Life in town centers around a classic courthouse square filled with local storefronts, casual dining spots, and a historic Carnegie library that hosts regular community programs. Local kids attend North Gibson schools, and spots like Lafayette Park give residents plenty of room for recreation, playgrounds, and outdoor gatherings. For anyone relocating for work or simply looking for friendly neighbors and easy commutes, Princeton makes settling in feel natural.
