I'd argue that all of Union County and Middlesex County all the way up to the Raritan River are part of N. Jersey.
Absolutely not. I'm guessing you have never been to North Jersey. Different demographics, different people, different landscape, and even different climate zones.

South Jersey is anything south of 195. Woodbridge is nothing like West Orange or Secaucus but that doesn't mean it's not North Jersey. Funny such a small state feels the need to be split in 3 but there it is.

The Raritan River is the border between N. and C. Jersey. That's where the change is the most noticable. If we are really going to be that restrictive based on the above criteria, we could argue that Somerset, Morris, Sussex, and whatever bumble**** counties that are supposedly N. Jersey according to your criteria aren't really N. Jersey.

The Raritan River is not the border between North and Central NJ, for one it goes right through the middle of Rutgers, which is dead smack in middle of Central NJ.
Everything below 195 is south Jersey and everything above rt 78 is north jersey. Central, NJ is everything between. I'd say this with about 95% accuracy with some gray areas around the shore towns.
It was much easier when you guys just had 201 and 609

I'm originally from Roselle, worked at the family business in Watchung, also lived in North Plainfield and Edison (by Brunswick) before going down to South Jersey in 93. Started in Burlington County, now in Gloucester County since 2008.
Way back when, Roselle was considered North Jersey, the split used to be when you were going down the shore, you drove over the big bridge on the Parkway.

That is why some people consider that bridge the dividing line between north and central.
Take this with a grain of salt since I live out in Suffolk County but I had no idea that Union County is sometimes considered part of Central Jersey. I always thought it of as part of Northern New Jersey. It is pretty far north.
If any county would be split between northern and central, I would have thought it would be Middlesex since part of that county is north of the Raritan River and part of it is south of the river. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle...ty,_New_Jersey
Finally, Union is also considered part of South Jersey..... nah just kidding!
