Ewing is a section of Ewing Township in Mercer County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey.[2][3] Located at the intersection of Upper Ferry Road and Scotch Road, it is one of the oldest settlements in Ewing Township and dates back to the 18th century. The community was known as Carleton before adopting its current name.[4]
The Carleton/Ewing/Ewing Presbyterian Church area was a small village at the intersection of today's Upper Ferry and Scotch Roads and the lands to the north, where the railroad crosses Scotch Road. It contained nine homesteads, a blacksmith, a wheelwright shop, a church and a flour mill.
