And I moved this past year from living in northwest Bergen County most of my life to eastern Monmouth County. My friend down here says that most of her neighbors can't be bothered with anything north of the Driscoll. LOL.
But I'd bet dollars to donuts at least half WORK north of it (judging by the amount of cars I see northbound on the pkwy in the morning!). LOL

Well, New Sweden spilled over to SE PA & northern Delaware, which helps to explain why South Jersey, to this day, is so similar to the other 2 areas. The Dutch had conquered the Swedes, but infiltration of the area was minimal. Prior to the arrival of the English, New Sweden was mostly the natives & an assortment of Swedes & Finns.
Quaker involvement with East Jersey was minimal, while they were firmly entrenched in West Jersey. Then you have the Jacobites in East Jersey who were sent to the new world by Cromwell. . .they were split between SC & East Jersey too keep them separated.
the difference between North an South Jersey(anything Trenton and above is north) is North Jersey is full of a**holes.
You're right. We never even think about you down there. You don't exist.
