The University has become intertwined with the community over the years. Many important events in New Jersey history took place here. In 1783, the Continental Congress met here in Nassau Hall. In 1776, the first New Jersey State Legislature met, also in Nassau Hall. Albert Einstein spent the last years of his life at the Institute for Advanced Study.
