East State Street is one of Trenton's business thoroughfares, and has been so named since 1847, when all that portion of the then Second Street, lying east of Warren Street, became East State Street. A trolley-line runs through the street, and some of its prominent buildings are the Post Office, State Street Theatre, Windsor Hotel and the Armory.
