It was the third US state to ratify the Constitution.

No, New Jersey is the fifth smallest state. Connecticut is the third smallest state when ranked by area.
Pennsylvania ratified the US Constitution on December 11, 1787, just 4 days after the first state, which was Delaware.
New Jersey was the third state to ratify the Constitution and become a state. Its date of admission is December 18, 1787 which is six days after Pennsylvania.
New Jersey was one of the original thirteen colonies; it became a state officially on December 18, 1787. New Jersey was the third state to ratify the U.S. Constitution, and the first state to sign the Bill of Rights. Its first state governor was William Livingston.
I'm not sure you can properly call it a "union" if there's only one state in it, but Delaware was the first state to ratify the US constitution.By the same logic, Pennsylvania (the second state to ratify the US constitution) wasn't really joining a union but forming one (with Delaware).The third state to ratify the constitution (New Jersey) was therefore the first state that can unambigously be said to have joined an existing union of other states.In practice, though, the Union is considered an ideal that existed as of the creation of the Constitution, and each state that ratified the constitution was joining that (hypothetical) union, so Delaware is really the first.
No, it is the third, having ratified the Constitution immediately after Delaware and Pennsylvania.
New Jersey was one of the thirteen original colonies forming the United States. The New Jersey Provincial Congress passed the "New Jersey Constitution of 1776" on July 2, 1776. That document effectively declared the Province of a New Jersey to be independent. It also converted the Provincial Congress into the State Legislature, but stated that the new state constitution would be void if New Jersey later achieved a reconciliation with Great Britain. Two days later, July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence, which declared that "these United Colonies are, and of a right ought to be, Free and Independent States." On December 18, 1787, New Jersey became the third state to ratify the US Constitution. Thus, one might argue with equal correctness that New Jersey became a US State on July 2, 1776, or on July 4, 1776, or on December 18, 1787.
ANSWER:New Jersey became the third state of the United States of America, on December 18, 1787, after it ratified the United States Constitution.
Yes, Delaware was the first U.S. state. Delaware was the first state to ratify the Constitution doing so on December 7, 1787 thereby becoming the first state in the union.
