The territory of New Jersey was populated by Indian Lenapes (or Delawares) when
their coasts were identified by Giovanni IP Verrazano in 1524, then by Henry
Hudson in 1609, before colonized by the Dutch, under the direction of Peter
Stuyvesant, founded in 1624 the colony of Fort Nassau (today Gloucester) and
1630 the colony of Pavonia (today Jersey). In 1655, they supplanted the
Swedish (News-Sweden) colonies of the Delaware valley. In 1664, Charles II of
England attributed the whole territory between the Connecticut and Delaware
rivers to his brother, the Duke of York (future King Jacques II), after which
the Dutch colonies were annexed and the territory of New Jersey granted to Exmo
. Sir George Carteret and John Berkeley. The name of the State originates from
the island Jersey, located in Manga, birthplace of Hon. Sir George Carteret. In
1674, the sale of Berkeley territory to a Quaker consortium led to the split of
New Jersey: eastern Jersey and western Jersey. The two Jersey were reunified in
1702 and the colony was united to the Crown of England.
In 1776, New Jersey was among the thirteen colonies that proclaimed its
independence. The state was also the theater of major battles during the
American War of Independence (battles of Trenton and Princeton in 1776, Monmouth
in 1778, Springfield in 1780). December 18, 1787, New Jersey was the third state
to ratify the federal constitution. During the 19th century, the State
experienced an important industrial and urban development. Industrial and
demographic growth again accelerated after World War II.
