New Jersey Map

General information
New Jersey is a state in the Mid-Atlantic region of the Northeastern United States. It borders the state of New York to the north and east; it borders the Atlantic Ocean in the east, southeast and south; to the west by the Delaware and Pennsylvania rivers; and to the southwest, bordered by the Delaware Gulf and the State of Delaware. New Jersey is the fourth smallest by region but 11-populous, with 8,882,190 residents as of 2019 and has an area of 8,722.58 square miles, making it the population density of the 50 US states. The capital city is Trenton, while the largest city is Newark. All but one county in New Jersey are within the combined census tracts of New York City or Philadelphia; therefore, the state's largest metropolitan area is located in Greater New York.
History
New Jersey was originally settled by Native Americans, with Lenni-Lenape dominating at the time of contact. Scheyichbi was the Lenape name for what is now New Jersey. The Lenape were a number of autonomous groups that practiced maize farming to supplement their hunting and gathering in the area around the Delaware River, downstream of the Hudson River and west of Long Island Sound. Lenape society was divided into matriarchal clans based on a common female ancestry. These clans were organized into three distinct phratries identified by their animal markings: Turtles, Turks and Wolves. They first encountered the Dutch in the early 17th century, and their main relationship with the Europeans was through the fur trade.
Geography
New Jersey is bordered by New York to the north and northeast (part of which is across the Hudson River, Upper New York Bay, Kill Van Kull, Newark and Arthur Kill Bay); the East borders on the Atlantic Ocean; to the southwest by Delaware through the Bay of Delaware; and to the west by Pennsylvania across the Delaware River. This is New Jersey's only straight border.
New Jersey is usually divided into three geographical regions: North Jersey, Central Jersey and South Jersey. Some New Jersey residents do not consider Central Jersey an area in its own right, but others believe it is a separate geographic and cultural area from North and South.
