A Re-activated Civic Association
Hillcrest in History
"Civic Group Formed The big night came
on March 11, 1902. On that occassion, the residents organized the Hillcrest Improvement Association at a meeting held
in the community school-house.
"Silas W. Drake, land developer, who had recently purchased a large tract
in the section, was the leading speaker. In commenting on his address, the Trenton Times of the following day said:
'Mr. Drake spoke enthusiastically about the future of Hillcrest and promised to make it one of the finest residential
sections of Mercer County in less than a year.'"
