New Jersey is the fourth smallest and most densely populated state in the United States, and its zip code is NJ. The name of this state comes from Jersey in the English Channel, and its state is nicknamed "Garden State". East Americans also call it NSW > New Jersey is usually divided into the mid-Atlantic region of the United States, which is also a state in the east, and can also be divided into the northeast region. New Jersey borders New York State in the north, the Atlantic Ocean in the east, Delaware in the south and Pennsylvania in the west. Parts of New Jersey are divided into several metropolitan areas, of which New York is the largest, followed by Philadelphia and Delaware Valley. The highest altitude in this state is High Point, with an altitude of 1, 803 feet (550 meters).

After being settled by Native Americans 1 1, 000-50,000 years later, Swedish and Dutch colonists came to New Jersey. British colonists Sir george carter Wright and Lord John Berkeley later took control of this part of New Jersey from Sweden and the Netherlands. In the American War of Independence, many important battles took place in various parts of New Jersey. In the19th century, many cities like Paterson made great contributions to the industrial revolution in the United States. After entering the 20th century, New Jersey's economy flourished in 1960s+0920s, but it also declined with the Great Depression in 1960s+091930s. New Jersey is located in the center of the Boston-Washington metropolitan area, surrounded by new york, Philadelphia, Baltimore, District of Columbia and other metropolitan areas. This geographical location accelerated the rapid appearance of suburbs after 1950 s.

North Jersey and new york are closely related, and most of them belong to the new york metropolitan area. Many residents commute to work in new york every day. Central Jersey is mostly suburban. South Jersey is greatly influenced by Philadelphia, and most of this area is included in the Delaware Valley. Although there is such a division in general, its regional boundary is not clear because it has never been clearly defined. Some people even think that Middle Jersey does not exist, but most people still think that Middle Jersey is a region with its own unique geography and culture.

Industrial products mainly include medicinal materials, chemicals, food processing, electrical appliances, printing, tourism and so on. Although the chemical industry is not the main product of New Jersey, there are many chemical plants near major highways.

traffic

Important airport

-{A|zh-tw: Newark International Airport; Zh-cn: Newark International Airport }-(EWR), one of the three major airports in new york metropolitan area, is the transshipment center of Continental Airlines, and United Airlines and FedEx also use this airport as the freight center.

Important expressway

In New Jersey, the interstate highway invested by the federal government is not the most important highway, but these two highways are commonly used: New Jersey Toll Road and Garden State Park Road. Generally speaking, long-distance drivers from out-of-state simply pass through New Jersey and usually use toll roads to cross New Jersey, while residents in the state who commute between northern New Jersey and the coast of New Jersey use Parkway more. These two expressways are toll roads, which are different from the free main roads in most states.

There are many bridges and tunnels at the border between New Jersey and neighboring states, because three of the four sides of the state border are surrounded by rivers. When you enter new york City, the direction to New Jersey is free, but when you leave, you need to pay the use fee. When driving in New Jersey, you need to have some cash and coins with you, otherwise you will have to queue up at many bridges and intersections. However, since the 1960s, the electronic toll collection system (E-ZPass) that New Jersey and new york cooperated finally made many drivers enjoy the convenience of waiting in line at the toll booth without change.

The New Jersey Transportation Company (NJ Transit) manages long-distance buses and trains in the state and the city.
