Everything about North Jersey totally explained
North Jersey is a name for the northern part of the
U.S. State of
New Jersey, which is sandwiched between two important cities:
New York City (which North Jersey locals refer to as "The City") and
Philadelphia (which South Jersey locals refer to as "Philly").
Some define North Jersey as all points in New Jersey north of
I-295 in the western part of the state and all points north of I-195 in the eastern part of the state. Following this definition,
Central Jersey wouldn't exist. Others, primarily those who live in the northern tier of counties, count only that area north of the mouth of the
Raritan River.
New Jersey's relationship and location relative to New York City and Philadelphia led
Benjamin Franklin to describe the state as "a barrel tapped at both ends."
