New Jersey has had five capitals throughout its history: New Amsterdam (now New York City), which served as the capital during the early colonial period; Perth Amboy, which was the capital from 1686 until 1702; Burlington, which served from 1702 to 1784; Trenton, which became the capital in 1784 and remains the capital today; and finally, a brief period when the capital was moved to Elizabethtown in 1784 before returning to Trenton.
