New Jersey: A Brief Overview

Many people don’t realize that New Jersey, America’s fourth-smallest state, is actually a peninsula bordered on three sides by the Atlantic Ocean, the Delaware Bay, and the Delaware River. Evidence of early native habitation tells us that humans have been living in the Garden State since just after the last ice age, about 15,000 years ago. Prior to that, an ice sheet blanketed much of the region, measuring almost two miles deep at its thickest point. However, along the edge of the ice, where New Jersey is located, it was only about 2,000 feet deep. Little is known about the first inhabitants, except that they were hunter-gatherers without any permanent settlements. Around 1,000 years ago, people who would eventually be known as the Lenape arrived. Over time, traditional hunting and gathering evolved into an agricultural lifestyle that featured permanent settlements.

As the area was settled by the Dutch and the Swedes, contact with the natives was common, with alternating trade, war, and co-existence being the norm. Once the Dutch colony of New Netherlands was conquered by the British, King James II gave the acreage that would eventually become New Jersey to Sir George Carteret and John Berkeley. For a fee, organizers of this new colony granted religious freedom to attract settlers. Named after the largest of the Channel Islands off the coast of England, the New Jersey colony quickly succeeded in attracting a large number of these settlers. Unfortunately, the two men saw their fortunes fade when they discovered just how difficult it would be to collect what they were owed. In 1674, Berkeley gave his share of the colony to the Quakers, creating two entities, East Jersey and West Jersey, causing confusion all around. Eventually, in 1702, the two were rejoined.

During the Revolution, New Jersey found itself seriously divided, with the population torn between siding with the new American government or the Crown. Interestingly, revolutionary New Jersey’s 1776 constitution allowed voting for all property-owning citizens, including women and non-whites. Although the rule was later repealed in 1807, it was the most progressive voting policy in the country until the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920.

A leading force in the industrial revolution, New Jersey was dotted with factories that built everything from train locomotives to firearms. In time, it became the silk manufacturing capital of the country, much to Virginia’s dismay. New Jersey was also the home of Thomas Edison, the visionary and prolific inventor of the phonograph, the Dictaphone, the incandescent lightbulb, and the radio.

In today’s modern era, New Jersey is still a heavy hitter, as a large proportion of world-class software development, biotech, and information technology companies have put down roots in the Garden State. Although the state is a prominent center for manufacturing processes that require massive amounts of energy, energy consumption makes up only 2.7% of the U.S. total, and New Jersey emits just 0.8% of total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. This seeming contradiction is attributed to the state’s forward-thinking use of solar power stations, nuclear power, and the adoption of clean energy generation.

New Jersey boasts the highest population density of any state in the country, as well as the highest percentage of city dwellers, with an urban population of about 90%. Unknown to most, it’s also the only state in which every county is classified as a metropolitan area. New Jersey has the second-highest median household income and the lowest dependence on Federal money (for every dollar paid in Federal taxes, around half comes back to state coffers). Fans of hot turkey sandwiches and coconut cream pie will be pleased to know that New Jersey is rumored to have more diners than any other state and that Paterson’s Lambert Castle Spoon Museum houses the largest collection of spoons. Atlantic City was the first and still is the longest boardwalk in the world, was home to the original Miss America pageant, and was the source for street names in a standard game of Monopoly®.

A sunny vacation destination that has remained popular for generations, Cape May is the country’s oldest seaside resort town, first hosting visitors from Philadelphia as early as the mid-1700s. The first baseball game was held in Hoboken, and the first intercollegiate football game took place in New Brunswick. Camden, located across the Delaware River from Philadelphia, enjoys the distinction of being the site of the original drive-in movie theatre. Other New Jersey highlights include the first brewery, the first submarine, the invention of condensed soup, and the first airplane passenger flight (from New York City to Atlantic City in 1919).
