John von Neumann worked in Princeton, I didn't realize the von Neumann architecture was aka the Princeton architecture.
Of course Einstein lived and worked in Princeton too.

I grew up in the Boston area, and honestly, I thought there was more genuine technology innovation coming out of Boston-area institutions like MIT, other area universities, Lincoln Labs, MITRE, Raytheon, BBN, etc. The problem was that most of these innovations get strangled in their cradle, because Boston VCs are looking for ways to do things that are already being done better, and aren't willing to take a chance on ideas that look nothing like existing businesses. In Silicon Valley, you can usually find at least one defector who thinks "Well, it's a terrible idea, but I'm going to invest anyway just to see what happens." And that's why you have all these companies that actually started in Boston - Microsoft, Facebook, Reddit, DropBox, YCombinator - but are now known as either "Silicon Valley" or "Seattle" companies.
"In 1929 von Neumann accepted an invitation to come to Princeton as a visiting professor for one term. Given a continuing half-time appointment the following year, he spent one term each year in Princeton and one in Germany until 1933 when, at the age of 30, he accepted appointment as the youngest and one of the first professors in the newly founded Institute for Advanced Study. In 1937 he became a United States citizen."
