'''New Jersey''' is one of the thirteen original colonies that formed the [[United States]]. It was the third state to enter into the Union. Its population has the highest overall density of any State, featuring many thousands of towns.<ref>http://www.nj.gov/nj/govinfo/county/localgov.html (list of municipalities, which links to each one).</ref><br />
<br />
New Jersey is nicknamed "the Garden State." It has 127 miles of coastline, including resort areas such as [[Atlantic City]], Asbury Park, and Cape May, some with beautiful and historic [[Victorian]] [[architecture]]. Its capital city is [[Trenton]].<br />
<br />
It is home to two famous old universities: [[Princeton University|Princeton]] and [[Rutgers University|Rutgers]]. They are both ''colonial colleges,'' the nine colleges chartered in the colonies before the [[American Revolution]]. Princeton traditionally claims 1740 as its year of founding<!--have to put in this qualification because of a longstanding dispute between Princeton and Penn-->, making it the fourth oldest university in the United States; Rutgers, founded in 1766, is the eighth oldest. Princeton is a member of the [[Ivy League]].<br />
<br />
New Jersey legalized [[domestic partnership]]s (for same-sex couples and opposite-sex couples over 62 years of age) in 2004<ref>http://www.answers.com/topic/domestic-partnership-in-the-united-states</ref> and [[civil union]]s for same-sex couples, which are similiar to [[same sex marriage]], in 2007.<ref>http://data.lambdalegal.org/pdf/772.pdf</ref><br />
<br />
The current Governor of New Jersey is [[Jon Corzine]], a Democrat, while the Governor-Elect is Republican [[Chris Christie]].<br />

==Conservapedia==<br />
[[Conservapedia]] was founded in New Jersey on November 22, 2006. It was started by a class of 56 homeschooled children, ranging from 11 years old to 18, as a project for homework. This is why Conservapedia sucks so much and is so horrible. Go to Liberalapedia instead if you don't like brainwashing.<br />
