Slackwood is an unincorporated community located within Lawrence Township in Mercer County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey.

[2] The area is named for the owners of the land that was subdivided into the neighborhood today, Joseph Slack and William Wood.

Its location between Princeton Pike (now County Route 583) and Brunswick Pike (U.S. Route 1 Business) allowed for an easy walk to nearby Trenton factories.

[3][4] Today, most of the homes in Slackwood are still small bungalows with some businesses along with Princeton and Brunswick Pikes.
