HIS 279 - New Jersey History

This course covers the history of New Jersey from early exploration and settlement to the present, with more emphasis on the origins and establishment of New Jersey as a colony and a state, and the role the state has played in the development of the nation. The historical background will serve as a springboard for the study of the 19th and 20th century industrial growth that would make New Jersey one of the most influential states in the nation.
