George Washington and his troops arrived in Cranbury on June 26, 1778, from Hopewell, but due to excessive heat and rain were unable to advance any further. On June 27, Washington and his Continentals crossed 10 more miles of farmland, woods, and marshland into present day Monroe Township enroute to the Battle of Monmouth on June 28, 1778!
