New Jersey became the 3rd state on December 18, 1787.
Its civic profile is shaped by dense suburbs and cities, ports, transportation corridors, pharmaceuticals, shore communities, farms, universities, and its position between New York and Philadelphia. Public decisions about property taxes, schools, transit, flooding, housing, public safety, and environmental cleanup can affect daily routines quickly in such a compact state. The rest of this page is practical: New Jersey’s representatives, state offices, and the public records that back them up.
