Sir George Cartwright and Lord John Berkeley took control of New Jersey from Swedish and Dutch colonists. In the American Revolutionary War, many important battles were fought all over New Jersey. During the 1800s, many cities like Paterson contributed significantly to helping drive the Industrial Revolution in the United States. Entering the 20th century
New Jersey's economy boomed in the 1920s. But because of the Great Depression of the 1930s, the economy sank with it. The state of New Jersey is located right in the middle of the Boston
-Washington city belt, a mega-region group, and is surrounded by metropolitan areas such as New York City, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and the District of Columbia. This convenient geographical location further prompted the rapid emergence and development of suburbs after the 1950s.
