It is along Oregon Route 78 between Burns and Burns Junction[2] at an elevation of 4,111 feet (1,253 m) above sea level.[1] The South Fork Malheur River begins near Round Mountain, southeast of New Princeton.[3]

The Princeton rural post office was established in 1910 or about 1912, depending on the source consulted. When an upgrade of Route 78 bypassed the original community, it was re-located to New Princeton.[4]
