New Jersey Legacy: The Two New Jerseys

- In 1664, after the English conquered New Netherland, King Charles II granted the former Dutch territories as a proprietary colony to his brother James, Duke of York, who later became King James II. The Duke divided the colony into New York and New Jersey, reserving New York for himself as the “Duke’s province” and giving New Jersey to his friends John, Lord Berkeley, and Sir George Carteret. Berkeley and Carteret eventually sold their shares to other investors, called proprietors, resulting in the division in 1676 of the colony into East and West Jersey.
From the outset of the grant from the Duke of York to Berkeley and Carteret, jurisdictional disputes arose between New York and New Jersey. Before he learned about the gift to Berkeley and Carteret, Governor Richard Nicolls of New York made land grants in New Jersey to some New Englanders, causing a confusion of land titles that lasted into the eighteenth century. There was also a question of whether the grant to Berkeley and Carteret included the right to govern, which led to the arrest of Governor Philip Carteret of East Jersey and John Fenwick of Salem by a later New York governor, Sir Edmund Andros.
During this period the population of New Jersey diversified. Besides Europeans, there were Native-Americans, who were the original settlers, and African-Americans, who first were brought into the colony by the Dutch. To this racial diversity was added ethnic and religious diversity. In addition to the Dutch, Swedish, and Finnish, there were English and Scottish settlers. Among the religious denominations there were the Dutch Reformed, Puritans, Quakers, and Anglicans. In East Jersey resentment accompanied the passing of power from the English Puritans in Newark and Elizabeth to the Scottish Presbyterians in Perth Amboy. In West Jersey, the Quakers resented the growing influence of the Anglicans. Finally, the proprietors of both East and West Jersey gave up their efforts to govern this disorderly, heterogeneous society. In 1702, they petitioned the crown to take over the colony, while retaining their rights to the land. This brought to an end the period of the two New Jerseys.

This is such a a beautiful and informative video.
I used to love watching these shows.
Great show i grew up watching njn
To this very day there are two New Jerseys.... the Dirty North and the beautiful green , lush South. the line is around Trenton. We speak differently, we behave differently, but we are both Jersey Proud.
Wonder when Gloucester city or Camden nj came to be we need a video on today's south jersey!
One of my ancestors signed the Concessions and Agreements for West Jersey. Thank you to Mr. Cohen for making this video available.
Aloha...our ancestors shared the same past
Aloha you killed ancestors
I love these documentaries. Theyre so good for background noise while play games
It is still two New Jerseys, but now it is South Jersey & North Jersey.
they just added central jersey, officially. weird times
@@tuoy1 What they, there is two Jerseys, anything else is BS. North Jersey may as well be a huge suburb of NYC. South Jersey has about a dozen fewer cities and lots of wooded areas. Central Jersey is that nebulous area on RT. 70 where you go from one Jersey to the other.
@toddparke8535 I didn't make the law. I don't agree with it either, as we have always been two entities. having a third in our small state is nonsensical. I blame new York, somehow.
Almost from its inception, New Jersey has been in the rival orbits of New York and Pennsylvania.
Marvelous information
Vary Interesting, thank you.....
fascinating
Newark NJ 1666... woow!!
Beautiful
New Jersey was initially two geographically different colonies - East Jersey and West Jersey. When the two colonies were merged into the Royal Province of New Jersey, the new colony shared a Crown-appointed Governor with New York.
I'm from Jersey so I will like to see research on this state
@Angelccyn King ...hello..
It would be interesting to know who the Quakers were that sold out to the Anglicans in West Jersey, thereby undermining their values and practices. The impression is greed was involved.

Why did they steal the Native Americans homeland 😢😢😢😢😢
Colonizers.... I'm indigenous and a South Jersey Born and bred native...The Swiss, and English were colonizers and the coast was ...well.. the coast ,easy to access, and lush with vegetation. The Lenape were kind and welcoming to their peril. Any reasonable thinking person can understand why the colonized NJ.....oh I'm a Lakota, we didn't feel the European sting for another 150 yrs. But when they did, they destroyed the tribe's existence.
and do you think the native american tribes didnt take the land in the same way?
