The first Europeans to explore New Jersey were the Dutch, led by Henry Hudson in 1609. They claimed the area for the Netherlands, establishing trade and settlement in the region. Following the Dutch, the English also explored and eventually took control of New Jersey in the mid-17th century, further shaping its development.

The first Europeans in New Jersey were the Dutch and Swedish. Under British rule, New Jersey was a proprietary colony.
If you mean when did European settlers first discover New Jersey, Europeans first came into contact with Lenape Indians living in New Jersey in 1600. It's hard to tell how long the Lenape Indians had been settled there before the Europeans arrived.

The first European to explore the New Jersey coast was Giovanni da Verrazzano. He was a Florentine who explored North America in the name of King Francis I of France.
The Europeans explored the New World with ships.
I don't know if this applies to New Jersey and Delaware, but the first Europeans to settle in New York were from The Netherlands (before its name was changed to New York, it was New Amsterdam).
Europeans first settled in New Jersey in 1620. The Lenni-Lenape had lived here for many years before this.
