Edinburg is a 1700s-era unincorporated community located within West Windsor in Mercer County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey.

[3] These early families included the Mounts, Tindalls, Rogers, Hutchinsons, Cubberlys, Grooms, Conovers, Robins, and Hoopers.

Around the mid-1800s, they changed the area's name to "Edinburg," reputedly to honor a popular Scottish local.

In later years, Edinburg featured a schoolhouse, hotels, general stores, a post office, blacksmith, foundry, distillery, cider mill, broom factory, wheelwright, cooper, shoemaker, tanyard, basket factories, and more.

However, Edinburg still retains some of its original farmland and the broader landscape features a few dozen houses that are 100 years old or older.
