New Jersey is a northeastern state in the United States. It is one of the 13 British colonies that originally declared independence and founded the United States of America.

New Jersey, also known as the Garden State, is one of the richest US states and is considered one of the most comprehensive states with the strictest system of reproductive rights.

New Jersey is one of the most urbanized states and has a high population density. Although it is an important industrial center, the emergence of slums and increasing environmental degradation have become problems in recent years.

Home of President Grover Cleveland

New Jersey is the home of Grover Cleveland, the 22nd and 24th Presidents of the United States (1885–89 and 1893–97).

In United States history, Cleveland has the unique honor of being the only president to leave office, run in the next election, and win the presidency. If Republican candidate Donald Trump wins the 2024 election, he would be the only one after Cleveland to do so.
