New Jersey, one of the original Thirteen Colonies, was founded in 1664 when the English seized the territory from the Dutch. The colony was named after the Isle of Jersey in the English Channel. It officially became the third state to join the Union on December 18, 1787, following its ratification of the U.S. Constitution.
Jump Into What Matters
Known as the Garden State, New Jersey has a unique municipal structure in which all land is incorporated—there are no unincorporated areas or independent cities. The state comprises 21 counties and 564 municipalities, categorized into five types: boroughs (253), cities (52), towns (15), townships (240), and villages (4).
New Jersey’s municipal framework is defined by laws such as the Township Act of 1798 and the Faulkner Act of 1950, which allow municipalities to adopt various forms of government tailored to their needs, including mayor-council, council-manager, and small municipality forms. Unlike other states, New Jersey’s municipalities all hold equal legal status regardless of their classification.
Counties act as intermediate administrative units that perform state-mandated duties such as road maintenance, law enforcement, and court administration, but they generally do not govern municipalities directly.
