About New Jersey
New Jersey is a state with a long and rich history. It was originally inhabited by the Lenape Native Americans, who called it “Scheyichbi,” meaning “the land of silent rocks.” The first European settlers arrived in the early 1600s, and the area soon became a Dutch colony. In 1664, the English took control of the colony and renamed it New Jersey. During the American Revolution, New Jersey was a key battleground, and it was here that George Washington crossed the Delaware River to launch a surprise attack on the Hessian troops stationed in Trenton. After the war, New Jersey became one of the original 13 states of the United States.
Today, New Jersey is known for its diverse population, its many historical sites, and its vibrant cultural scene. Whether you’re interested in exploring its past or its present, New Jersey has something to offer everyone.
