The US50 - A guide to the state of New Jersey - History (1674 words) |
 | New Jersey's first residents were the Lenni Lenape Indians who inhabited the territory for over 10,000 years before the first European arrived on its shores. |
| New Jersey was the third state to ratify the U.S. Constitution in 1787 and the first to ratify the Bill of Rights in 1789. |
| A good part of the state's economic expansion was due to the genius of its inventors-Thomas Edison was one of the most famous-who were responsible for the development of a number of important technological and research areas. |
| Interstate Highway System: Information from Answers.com (5309 words) |
| Auxiliary Interstate Highways are given three-digit route numbers, which consist of a single digit prefixed to the two-digit number of a primary Interstate highway, to designate spur or loop routes branching from either the primary route or one of its other auxiliary routes. |
| States must also meet minimum enforcement standards for all federally mandated legislation (for example, minimum penalties for violation of these laws and a minimum number of per capita underage drinking convictions or a compelling explanation regarding why this number is not met). |
| In most states, the exit numbers correspond to the mileage markers on the Interstates (with an exception being I-19 in Arizona, whose length is measured in kilometers instead of miles). |
