After watching this video, I’m sure you’ll understand why many prefer New Jersey over New York. Let’s start with what both states have in common.
First, both have a shrinking population. Yep, they’re losing people. But, New York has more than twice as many people as New Jersey. (NY-19.4 million, NJ- 8.9 million) Most of the population in both states live in the New York metropolitan area, the biggest metropolitan area in the world. Look at that! Despite not having one city within it with a population greater than 300,000, New Jersey is the most densely populated of the 50 states.
Residents of both states are mostly Christian, but both have sizeable minorities who identify as Jewish and Muslim.
Both do share quite a bit of history.
American Indians had lived in what would become the two states for thousands of years. At the time of European arrival, Algonquian and Iroqouian-speaking tribes dominated what would become New York, while the Lenape dominated what would become New Jersey. In 1609, Henry Hudson explored much of what would later be the two states, and soon the Dutch were establishing trading posts, establishing the colony of New Netherland. Soon after, the Swedes settled parts of future New Jersey, establishing the colony of New Sweden, which lasted just 17 years before the Dutch, led by Peter Stuyvesant, conquered it and made it part of New Netherland. But in 1664, the English conquered the Dutch and took over, changing the name to New York and also establishing the colony of New Jersey. In 1673 the Dutch recaptured New York City and renamed it New Orange. One year later the English got it back. Whew.
During the colonial era, both New Jersey and New York attracted immigrants from all over the place, and thus became diverse places. And then, one long border dispute. Between 1701 and 1765, the two colonies led skirmishes and raids against each other in what became known as the New York – New Jersey Line War. The King finally settled it on October 7, 1769. Between 1708 and 1738, New York governors ruled over New Jersey, and this of course made Jersey residents mad.
During the American War of Independence, both colonies saw lots of action, but more than a third of all battles fought in the war took place in New York. After the United States became a country, New York City was the capital until 1790. New Jersey was the third state to ratify the U.S. Constitution, New York the 11th. While both states had banned slavery by the early 1800s, it was a gradual thing, and even as late as the Civil War Jersey had a small slave population.
Canals in both states drove growth and industry.

So which is better? New York or New Jersey? Which states should I compare next?
Also, am I pathetically trying to do a New York accent at the end of the video, or a New Jersey accent?

NYC has US Army Battery Weed. Jersey has a beach.
>NY has the best bagels and pizza
Lies
Also, NY has several major league teams (Yankees, Mets, Knicks, Nets, Giants, Jets, Bills, Islanders, Sabers, Rangers) while NJ only has 1 (LET'S GO DEVILS)
New Jersey has the best bagels in the country and I will die on that hill
As a Canadian, I am curious as well as to why New Jersey gets crapped on, even in social media. I've been to New Jersey and there are some beautiful forested neighbourhoods that look beautiful!
Pizza and bagels are really good in New Jersey too. Didn't mention the Taylor ham and pork roll divide in New Jersey. Also, parts of the state want to claim they are central new Jersey and not north or south jersey.
fyi NYC is not the largest metropolitan area in the world. It's 10th and won't be for long.
They both are garbage states.
I’m from Brooklyn. The only thing jersey has on us that I give a lot of credit for is, y’all have a lot of beautiful houses & is cheaper.
Lenape tribes literally ruled all of Manhattan. That was their land first.
Used to live in both when i was younger. I like both states
Team New Jersey
I lived in NC for 4 yrs and of the people I asked that moved there, 9/10 were from NJ or NY because of taxes and the high cost of living
I just realized how very “Upstate New York” I am- being from Upstate NY (like actual Upstate NY, as in closer to Canada than NYC), the visual of everything above NYC being “upstate” made me scream internally. Going to school in Yonkers and hearing people refer to parts of Yonkers as “upstate New York” made this reaction so real for me. Especially hearing how posh everyone made upstate NY seem… dude I grew up surrounded by farmland. Everything smelled like cow poop come spring/early summer ?
Watched .
That's not Upstate New York.

As someone living in nyc my entire life,I am deeply angered
Fun fact: New Jersey had to fight with (I believe) Pennsylvania for the title of “The Garden State”, New Jersey obviously won.
Im new to your channel i would like to see houses in Rhode Island Maine and Vermont and New Hampshire and Delaware and District of Columbia and more of New Jersey and Virginia and Pennsylvania and Massachusetts North Carolina and Maryland.
Generalizing most of NJ as suburbs is just incorrect. The entire northwest of NJ is beautiful mountains, farms, and all rural, as is a lot of south jersey like the Pine Barrens.
Joey!!! I'm not a hoeawwaa
Can you pump your on gas yet in NJ?
