New Jersey
The capital of New Jersey is Trenton and the State was admitted to the Union on: December 18, 1787. Feel free to discuss the Culture & Traditions of Trenton within this thread.
Trenton as you know is the capitol and it's one of the worst capitols in America. It's full of drug selling people. That said the downtown area is really nice with the adminstrative buildings and the New Jersey State Museum and Planetarium. I personally live 12 miles north of Trenton. In general New Jersey's largest county by size is Burlington and by population,Bergen. The smallest county by size is Hudson and by population,Salem. I live in Middlesex County. Trenton is in Mercer County.
