At dinner tonight, my DS11 asked why there is a New Jersey when we don't have a regular Jersey.

LOL!! He's funny.
Tell him we do-it's the island of Jersey in The English Channel.

So does anyone know the real answer? Why is there a New Jersey, and where is the Old One????

Probably England. After all, New Jersey was one of the 13 colonies.

Hah, for once I'm proud to say I'm from New Jersey!

Read above--we were named after the island of Jersey.

Thanks for the info! I'll let my DS know so he can share this knowledge with his friends!
