Geography

South Jersey is the area that grew and expanded with Philadelphia, as part of its metropolitan area, as opposed to with New York. Traditionally, the term was used to separate only the most urban and industrial, northeastern New Jersey's counties from the rural rest of the state, as West Jersey separated East Jersey historically. While West Jersey encompassed the areas that now make up approximately 14 of New Jersey's 21 counties in the center, south, and northwest, "South Jersey" today comprises only 8 counties. There is no longer a division between the New York and Philadelphia metropolitan areas. They meet in Central Jersey, the counties directly north of South Jersey: Hunterdon County, Somerset County, Middlesex County, Mercer County, and Monmouth County.
