AnswerAll farm land.

umm... i hope the above answer was joking..

it was probably just covered in indigenous plants but also keep in mind what was indigenous back then is probably not what is around there now due to plants coming with people having access to more reasonable transportation methods starting in 1930-1940's. Most people would say New Jersey was mostly woodlands in that era. Consider that New Jersey in the year 1600 save for some Native Americans was a vast forest land from the northern edge of Montclair to the tip of Cape May in the south. Although there are many rivers in Jersey they mostly flow into oceans and bays. There must have been plenty of wildlife because of all the berry bushes that remain to this day. Other than that, Jersey was pretty much off everyones places to see until people from Philadelphia started coming and couldn't find their way back home so here they stayed which lead to the question that many people ask today, " Hey You from Joisey? "
