New Jersey ranks ninth in the nation in population and has the highest population density of any U.S. state, because of its proximity to both New York City and Philadelphia. New Jersey is a major industrial center, an important transportation corridor, and because of its long coast line, a long-established destination for summer vacationers.

New Jersey consists of 127 miles of white sand beach, scenic mountains and parkland, colonial villages, cutting-edge technology, outstanding education, great cultural attractions, world-class entertainment and stringently protected ecological resources. Home to some of America’s greatest inventors, writers and statesmen, New Jersey is a place where you can walk in George Washington’s footsteps while creating new pathways of your own; in work, family life and leisure. New Jersey has been dubbed “America the beautiful…only smaller,’ which is just one of the reasons we know you’ll feel at home here.

North Jersey was defined as all points in New Jersey north of a line extending from Interstate 195. However, recently the region has shifted below I-195, down along the Jersey Shore, due to the large numbers of people from New York City and North Jersey that have moved down there trying to find affordable housing. A more accurate approximation for North Jersey is now sometimes considered to be anything north of a straight line connecting the cities of Trenton and Toms River, thus including the more urban and populated parts of Ocean County in the North Jersey area.

The Central Jersey counties were grouped together as it was once more rural. Ironically this area is now being developed as more people move south to try to find affordable housing. Because of this transition the counties are now being grouped with the Northern New Jersey counties.
