About New Jersey
  • New Jersey is a state in the North-eastern United
    States and mid-Atlantic regions of the United
    States.
  • It is bordered on the north and east by New York,
    on the southeast and south by the Atlantic Ocean,
    on the west by Pennsylvania, and on the southwest
    by Delaware.
  • New Jersey is the fourth-smallest state but the
    11th-most populous and the most densely populated
    of the 50 United States.
  • New Jersey lies entirely within the combined
    statistical areas of New York City and
    Philadelphia and is the third-wealthiest U.S.
    state by per capita income as of 2014

History
  • Around 180 million years ago, during the Jurassic
    Period, New Jersey bordered North Africa.
  • Around 18,000 years ago, the Ice Age resulted in
    glaciers that reached New Jersey. As the glaciers
    retreated, they left behind Lake Passaic, as well
    as many rivers, swamps, and gorges
  • New Jersey was originally settled by Native
    Americans, with the Lenni-Lenape being dominant
    at the time of contact. Scheyichbi is the Lenape
    name for the land that is now New Jersey.

5
Climate
  • There are two climatic conditions in the state.
    The south, central, and northeast parts of the
    state have a humid subtropical climate, while the
    northwest has a humid continental climate with
    much cooler temperatures due to higher elevation.
    New Jersey receives between 2,400 and 2,800 hours
    of sunshine annually.
  • Summers are typically hot and humid, with
    state-wide average high temperatures of 8287 F
    (2831 C) and lows of 6069 F (1621 C)
    however, temperatures exceed 90 F (32 C) on
    average 25 days each summer, exceeding 100 F (38
    C) in some years.

6
Religion
  • By number of adherents, the largest denominations
    in New Jersey, according to the Association of
    Religion Data Archives in 2010, were the Roman
    Catholic Church with 3,235,290 Islam with
    160,666 and the United Methodist Church with
    138,052. The world's largest Hindu temple was
    inaugurated in Robbinsville, Mercer County, in
    central New Jersey during 2014, a BAPS temple.

Economy
  • The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis estimates
    that New Jersey's gross state product in 2010 was
    487 billion. New Jersey's estimated taxpayer
    burden in 2015 was 59,400 per taxpayer

Education
  • In 2010, there were 605 school districts in the
    state.
  • Secretary of Education Rick Rosenberg, appointed
    by Governor Jon Corzine, created the Education
    Advancement Initiative (EAI) to increase college
    admission rates by 10 for New Jersey's high
    school students, decrease dropout rates by 15,
    and increase the amount of money devoted to
    schools by 10. Rosenberg retracted this plan
    when criticized for taking the money out of
    healthcare to fund this initiative.
  • In 2014, New Jersey's school systems were ranked
    at the top of all fifty U.S. states by financial
    website Wallethub.com.
  • Nine New Jersey high schools were ranked among
    the top 25 in the U.S. on the Newsweek "America's
    Top High Schools 2016" list, more than from any
    other state.
