The old original Hampshire is in England and the old Jersey is a island in between England and France!

The old ones are in the UK i.e. the county of Hampshire and Jersey is an island in the Channel Islands.

They were named after provinces in england. The old hampshier and old jersey (although they don't acctually use the "old" in the term) is in england.

The Old ones are in England. Those towns are in "New England"....remember. York is also a town in England, hence the New Englander name" New York".

Actually never wondered. If I thought about it at all I guess I figured the "old" ones were in the "old country"....
