Central Jersey is the designation for the central region of the State of New Jersey in the United States of America. The two main portions of the region are separated by the Raritan River. The Raritan Valley makes up the northern portion of Central Jersey and includes Union, Somerset, and Hunterdon counties, as well as the northern portion of Middlesex County. [1][2][3][4][5] South of the Raritan are the shore and inland communities of Monmouth, as well as the southern portion of Middlesex County and all of Mercer County.[6][7][8][9] All of Central Jersey is in the New York City Metropolitan Statistical Area.

History

Between 1674 and 1702, most of today's Central Jersey was a part of East Jersey, whose capital was in Perth Amboy. >>>

Transportation

The Central Railroad of New Jersey once connected New York City with many Central Jersey towns. Much of that system is now included in New Jersey Transit rail operations to the Raritan Valley, Northeast Corridor, and the North Jersey Coast. A major mass transit commuter hub in Central Jersey is Metropark.

The Garden State Parkway, New Jersey Turnpike, Interstate 287, U. S. Route 1, U. S. Route 9, New Jersey Route 18, and New Jersey Route 35 are major automobile transport routes through Central Jersey that pass over the Raritan River at Perth Amboy and New Brunswick, New Jersey.

Monmouth Executive Airport, formerly known as Allaire Airport, is a public-use airport located near Allaire State Park not far from Farmingdale, New Jersey.

Port Newark-Elizabeth Marine Terminal is the fifteenth busiest container port in the world. Like Newark Liberty, it is located in Newark and Elizabeth in Union County, New Jersey.

Economy

While Central Jersey partially serves as a bedroom community for New York City commuters, it also has robust local economies of its own. It is home to many pharmaceutical (Johnson and Johnson, Schering-Plough, Merck and Sanofi-Aventis) and telecommunications companies (Verizon Wireless, AT&T Communications Vonage, and Avaya). Regional tourist attractions include the Jersey Shore, Six Flags Great Adventure, Gateway National Recreation Area, Monmouth Park Racetrack and Asbury Park's boardwalk. The Raritan Bayshore offers marinas, bed and breakfasts, restaurants, and beaches. There are 48 fishable lakes in Monmouth County alone.[10] All of the region's counties are ranked among the highest income counties in the United States, as measured by median household income. [11]

Major shopping centers include Woodbridge Center, Menlo Park Mall, Bridgewater Commons, Monmouth Mall, Brunswick Square Mall, and Freehold Raceway Mall.
