Answer 2

New Jersey’s last royal governor was William Franklin, son of Benjamin Franklin. Assuming office in 1763, he remained in power until 1776, when he was deposed by a provincial congress for siding with the British during the Revolution. Sentiment in the province was divided over the revolutionary cause, but New Jersey gradually moved into the patriot camp after 1774. On July 2, 1776, the same provincial congress that deposed Franklin approved a state constitution. The first state governor was William Livingston, who remained in office until his death in 1790.

Several important battles of the Revolution were fought in New Jersey. The Americans were routed at Fort Lee (November 1776) but won victories at Trenton (December 1776), Princeton (1777), Monmouth (1778), and Springfield (1780). George Washington’s army encamped at Morristown and other localities within the state. At the war’s conclusion, the Continental Congress established the nation’s capital at Princeton from June until November 1783.

New Jersey is known for a moderate climate, with pleasant summers and somewhat mild winters, especially along the coastal areas of the south and southeast.

Conditions vary based on location. Snow falls across the state in winter, with heavier amounts in the hilly areas of the Piedmont Plateau and the mountains of the northwest.

Overall, January is the coldest month, with average high temperatures in the mid 30s. Colder conditions are common in the northwest

August is the warmest month, with average temperatures near 80 degrees. Beach temperatures are often cooler.

Annual precipitation averages near 45 inches, with higher amounts in the Piedmont Plateau areas of the north.

Answer 5

The best place to find this information if it is not on the internet would be an encyclopedia. I have an encyclopedia that gives this information, but it is too extensive to answer here. One important historical event that I could mention is that Thomas Edison invented the electric light in Menlo Park, NJ, and the first dinosaur bones discovered in North America were find in Haddonfield, NJ. Good luck.

Answer 6

If you want a lot of this information in a hurry and in one convenient place, a recent copy of the World Almanac will provide a lot of answers. Check your local school or public library.

Also, don't forget that most general-purpose encyclopedias will have nice big articles on the states...with all the answers you want.

Hit the books! Good luck.
