In 1676 Lords Carteret and Berkeley agreed to formal division of the colony that eventually became New Jersey, establishing East Jersey (Carteret) and West Jersey (Berkeley).  Province Line Road exists to this day in the Mercer County area.  The colony was reunited in 1703, and became the third state to ratify the Constitution.  Despite its relatively small size, it has geographic and social diversity.  A third of the state is south of the Mason-Dixon Line.  As a peninsula, the state is also home to some of the most well-known and, in their day, largest bridges in the world.  This section of the website features certain themes.  For a full list of available images from New Jersey, and for special assignment, see Contact and Ordering.  Some of New Jersey's principal cities, as well as Princeton, are featured.  One of the state's great natural wonders, The Great Swamp, is also represented.  To see these, click on the links below.
