Dutch Neck is an unincorporated community located within West Windsor Township in Mercer County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey.
Many early residents are buried in the mid-1700s graveyard behind the Dutch Neck Presbyterian Church - itself one of West Windsor's oldest houses of worship, constructed in 1816 to replace a "Neck Meeting House" built in the mid-late eighteenth century.
There was also a general store/post office, a chapel/Sunday school/library/courthouse/West Windsor-Plainsboro Regional School District Board of Education building, a wheelwright, blacksmith, schoolhouse, and substantial farms.
[4] Dutch Neck transformed in the late 1900s along with West Windsor Township's general population growth.
Also during this time, the expansive farmland that surrounded Dutch Neck was almost entirely replaced by suburban developments.
