[email protected] Website: www.visitnj.org Capital: Trenton Time: GMT – 5 Background: New Jersey entered the Union on December 18, 1787, as the third of the original 13 states. During the American War of Independence, it had been the scene of several important events, including George Washington‘s crossing of the Delaware in December 1776 to defeat the British at Trenton, now the state capital. Manufacturing became the leading economic activity of the state in the late 19th century, and in the 1990s New Jersey was also known for its coastal resorts, productive farms, and burgeoning service sector. President Grover Cleveland was born in New Jersey, and President Woodrow Wilson spent most of his adult life here.
