Trenton

Love the saying on that bridge over the Susquehanna

"Trenton Makes the World Takes" dang do they leave themselves open to all manner of jokes. As an ex-central JOISEY boy from the Elizabeth area... I do have a right to complain about the northern half of the state is among one of the most dishonest and corrupt sections in the country except for a half-dozen of the largest cities.

The state capital of New Jersey used to be in two different cities, Perth Amboy and Burlington. In 1784 however, Trenton was named the state capital and this fact remains so to this day.

New Jersey is a state in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern regions of the United States. The state is named after the island of Jersey in the English Channel. It is bordered on the north by New York, on the east by the Atlantic Ocean, on the southwest by Delaware, and on the west by Pennsylvania. Parts of New Jersey lie within the metropolitan areas of New York and Philadelphia.

Inhabited by Native Americans for more than 11,000 years, the first European settlements in the area were, the Swedes and Dutch, in the early 1600s. The British later seized control of the region, which was granted to Sir George Carteret and John Berkeley, 1st Baron Berkeley of Stratton as the colony of New Jersey. New Jersey was an important site during the American Revolutionary War; several decisive battles were fought there. The winter quarters of the revolutionary army were established twice by George Washington in Morristown, which was called the military capital of the revolution. The New Jersey Journal, a newspaper published by Shepard Kollock, who established his press in Chatham during 1779, became a catalyst in the revolution. News of events came directly to Kollock from Washington's headquarters in nearby Morristown, which he published to boost the morale of the troops and their families, and he conducted lively debates about the efforts for independence with those who opposed and supported the cause he championed. Later, working-class cities such as Paterson helped to drive the Industrial Revolution in the nineteenth century. New Jersey's position at the center of the BosWash megalopolis, between Boston, New York City, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington, D.C., fueled its rapid growth through the suburban boom of the 1950s and beyond.
