A Brief History of New Jersey: From Native Tribes to Statehood

Explore the rich history of New Jersey, founded in 1664 by Philip Carteret, the first governor. Initially occupied by the Lenni Lenape tribe, New Jersey faced Dutch settlement challenges. Over time, it became a royal colony in 1702 and gained its independence from New York in 1732. By December 18, 1787, it was officially recognized as a state. Today, New Jersey, famously known as the "Garden State," features symbolic animals, trees, and flowers, reflecting its diverse heritage and vibrant culture. Notable figures like Bud Abbott and Charles Addams also hail from here.
