@@historyofthejerseyshore , Really just like NJ but 7x's the size.... The state is booming with work and instead of 10K a year in taxes I'm 1,277.00 a year for a bigger house 🏡 and property.... Great medical, good fishing 🎣, way less government laws and rules and pro-2a..... Plenty of water, ocean, mountain and farms.... I like it better than Florida.... Thank You n be well..

Very interesting and well done. Didn’t realize Cape May was a Dutch settlement. Knew the Leeds family went way back (and part of the Jersey devil fable) but didn’t know they owned Absecon island, and were the first white settlers. I grew up with one of the Leeds - good folks.

Thanks Wagner Swagner. Glad you liked it. I learned a lot from Norm the guy being interviewed at the beginning. That's cool that you grew up with one of the Leeds and to know that they're good folks.

Hi thank you and you're welcome. The period when settlements were made and then later turned into towns is fascinating. There's so much great history in NJ. I'll see what I can do.

Thank you!

My kinfolk were there in 1650 by my grandfathers lineage on my mother's side. The recent womenfolk of my family were daughters of the American revolution. New Jersey regulars in the continental army during the war til the end of hostility. They left an inheiritance for not only myself but all of us. That birthright is worth more than a mans weight in gold. God bless this nation and all that have made it the greatest nation on earth. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

There was little chance of independence if the full military might of the British empire was ava8ilable and not tied up across the globe putting down other insurections and the majority of his majesty's naval forces fighting it out with the french fleet.

Yes it is. It's a charming little town on the bay. However, the whaling village is under water now. I'll send you some links. The first one explains Cape May's history. The second one has maps.

Strikes me funny that those who lived in that state fought against tyranny, overreaching of an oppressive government (England), and yet keep voting for more of it letting Democrats rule. I was born in N.J., Passiac. Spent many years visiting the shore, Atlantic City, Asbury Park, Ocean City. Seaside Heights was a favorite too. My forefathers came to this country in the mid 1600's.

Really you're gonna go there. What's more tyrannical then the wealthy backed by Republicans suppress the working man with low wage (hard working) labor then say they are conservatives that lift sanctions to allow the wealthy to come and look the land. They stop funding to preserve the pinelands, funding to protect clean water, even lifting restrictions in massive commercial fishing that all but wiped out the blue fish and the striped bass. Funding that billionaires don't want to pay even though they would never miss it out of their portfolio. But these very same people flock to our shores every summer treating the locals like garbage dumping trash on the beaches, out in the woods they're throwing trash around swimming holes in the pinelands and cedar creeks where they canoe and now they take their yachts into the bay and anchor on sand bars and toss their wine coolers overboard that wash up in the sedges all while they don't want to pay for the cleaning of it or it's preservation. Let the under paid working class worry about it right?Ceiba Geigy their pharmaceutical company dumped 1,000's of gallons of toxic waist into the woods of ocean county poisoning the drinking water in Toms River where kids were being born with sickening defects in staggering numbers through the '80's and then it ran off in to the bay poisoning the the back side of your beloved Seaside Heights??? Big pharma donates millions to the GOP to get away with paying environmental penalties to help cover these kids medical bills for life, and then on top of it they get tax breaks that can't even be used to clean up their messes that's still being found in the woods today. Maybe you should get out more and see the actual impact and who actually does what instead of get duped by a scheming non news show that's a slippery sly Fox pulling the wool over your eyes. Forget what TV news tells you go out and actually see what's going on life and it's impact on who takes care of it and why it's often not taken care of properly before you start trying to push political garbage over some cult like political parties leader. They find the biggest crooks to teach them how to squeeze and cheat every last cent from the country that started with these very early hard working people. And yes they fought the monarchy that took money from the working man gave it to the wealthy then did nothing back to either help them or defend them against natives that attacked early settlements.
