No, New Jersey was one of the original 13 proprietary colonies. These colonies were all English colonies.
New Jersey was settled by the Dutch in the early 1620s, with the establishment of the first European settlement, Bergen, in 1660. Delaware was settled slightly earlier by the Swedish in 1638, with the founding of Fort Christina (now Wilmington), before coming under Dutch and then English control. Both colonies became part of the English territories in the mid-17th century.
The Swedish primarily settled in the eastern part of North America, founding colonies such as New Sweden along the Delaware River. The Dutch settled in New Netherland, which encompassed present-day New York City and parts of New Jersey, Delaware, and Connecticut.
New Jersey was originally a fight between Dutch and Swedish settlers. However, the British were the ones who staked final claim to the land.
