紐澤西 (New
Jersey) 通過憲法
1787年12月18日
紐澤西也是普林斯頓大學與羅傑斯大學 (Rogers
University) 的所在地。歌手法蘭克‧辛那屈 (Frank
Sinatra) 來自"澤西" (Jersey) ，主張婦女參政權的愛麗斯‧保羅 (Alice
Paul) 、足球教練艾隆佐‧史戴格 (Alonzo
Stagg) ，以及音樂家布魯斯‧史賓斯汀 (Bruce
Springsteen) 、蘿倫‧希爾 (Lauryn
Hill) 等人也都是來自紐澤西。此外，紐澤西也是「露西—大象之家」 (Lucy
the Elephant) 所在地，這是1881年在亞特蘭大市是所建造的美國地標之一。威爾遜總統 (Woodrow
Wilson) 、汽車製造商亨利‧福特等人都曾經走進這個巨大的象形建築物 (露西) 。雖然紐澤西時常籠罩在旁邊的大都會紐約的陰影之下，但是當地的居民都知道紐澤西充滿著許多豐富的資源，以及多樣化且生氣盎然的特質。
New Jersey is home to Princeton University and Rutgers University. Singer Frank Sinatra was from "Jersey," as were suffragist Alice Paul, football coach Alonzo Stagg, and musicians Bruce Springsteen and Lauryn Hill. It is also home to Lucy the Elephant, an American landmark built in Atlantic City in 1881. President Woodrow Wilson stepped inside the giant elephant-shaped building, Lucy, as did car manufacturer Henry Ford. New Jersey often is seen in the shadow of its metropolis neighbor New York. But residents know the amazing resources the state has to offer, as well as its diverse and lively personality.
