The first settlers from Europe came from Sweden and Holland they came from Massachusetts, the Connecticut Valley, from the "shore" communities of Long Island, or from the Calvinistic centers of England and Scotland, they were filled with that mighty purpose to create in the new land a government where political righteousness should guide the course of the State. In this effort, as in all attempts to establish a community upon the teachings of a given creed, there was a tendency toward political dogmatism. In nearly all the East Jersey towns political preferment was based upon strict adherence to the teachings of a particular religious society, while the settlers of Newark went so far as to provide that only those who were members of a Congregational church should be allowed to hold office and vote.Thank you

∙ 7y ago. Native Americansmoved into New Jersey soon after the reversal of the Younger Dryas, which had made the area of northern New Jersey uninhabitable due to the ice sheet being hundreds of feet thick.
European contact began with the exploration of the Jersey Shore by Giovanni da Verrazzano in 1524. At the time of European contact, the area was populated by many tribes of the Lenape.
The New Jersey region soon came under the control of the Swedes and the Dutch resulting in a struggle in which the Dutch were victorious. However, the Dutch colony of New Netherlands was seized by the English in 1664. New Jersey was one of the Thirteen Coloniesthat broke off from Britain in the American Revolution, adopting the Declaration of Independence in 1776. Becoming a state upon the formation of the United States, New Jersey saw significant action during the American Revolutionary War. New Jersey's delegates signed the Articles of Confederation in 1779 and Princetonacted as the nation's capital for four months in 1783.
