Half a century later, it caught up in a significant industrial and commercial growth surge. Linked at last to the two great population centers to the north and south by rail, water, road business, and extensive enterprise, Trenton was an attractive center to locate. By 1857, the city's population was 15,000. Steel, rubber, and pottery were on the threshold of becoming significant industries.
