SHORT HISTORY of new jersey
 The first people to live on the land now known as New Jersey were the
Delaware Indians. When the first explorers came, the Delaware Indians
lived in parts of Delaware, New Jersey, and eastern Pennsylvania.
Europeans called them the Delaware Indians.
 Around 1524, Giovanni de Verrazano became the first European to
explore New Jersey. He sailed along the coast and anchored off Sandy
Hook. The colonial history of New Jersey started after Henry Hudson
sailed through Newark Bay in 1609.
 In the years before the Revolution, anti-British feelings spread
throughout the state. About one-third of the people living here
supported the rebels, one-third supported England, and one-third
remained neutral. In 1776 New Jersey declared itself an independent
state and joined the colonial side in the Revolutionary War.

 In 1787, New Jersey became the third state to ratify the U.S. Constitution and
the first state to sign the Bill of Rights. In 1790, Trenton officially became the
state capital of New Jersey. William Livingston became New Jersey's first state
governor.
 Between 1900 and 1930, New Jersey's population more than doubled, and
manufacturing became a $4 billion industry. Unfortunately, the Great
Depression of the 1930s hit New Jersey hard, bringing massive
unemployment. The state rebounded during World War II in the 1940s as New
Jersey's electronics and chemical industries began large-scale operations.
 Today, New Jersey is home to two international airports, Newark and Atlantic
City. Newark Airport expanded its passenger and cargo services in 1963. In
the 1980s, it became one of the world's busiest airports.
Today New Jersey is recognized for its present as well as its past.
