it extends south of New York City. The state is limited to the southwest by the Delaware River (Delaware Bay) and the northeast by the Hudson River, the coastal plain drained by short rivers (Raritan, Toms, Mullica).

Indian tribes, wars and upswing - a long way from then to now

After the civil war, livestock, especially cattle breeding, became the most important branch of the state's economy. The great economic power of cattle breeding made some people very wealthy, the cattle barons. There was some clash between the cattle barons over land, money and other factors. Here Billy the Kid played an important role.

Modern history first left its mark on the Alamogoro test site in 1945 with the nuclear weapon test.
