*565 MUNICIPALITIES*
*WIKI-LIST*

*’local government’ in ‘new jersey’ is composed of ‘counties’ + ‘municipalities’*
.
(‘local jurisdictions’ are simpler in ‘new jersey’ than in other states because…)
*every ‘square foot’ of the ‘state’ is part of exactly ‘1 municipality’)
(each of the ‘565 municipalities’ is in exactly ‘1 county’)
(each of the ’21 counties’ has more than 1 ‘municipality’)
(‘new jersey’ has no ‘unincorporated areas’, ‘independent cities’, or ‘consolidated city-counties’)
.
The forms of municipality in New Jersey are more complex than in most other states, though, potentially leading to misunderstandings regarding the governmental nature of an area.
With five types and twelve forms of local government (plus several non-standard forms in municipalities with special charters), some areas of New Jersey are administered significantly differently from other states.
Types of municipalities may choose to operate under a form of government different from that of their default form.
The New Jersey Legislature has provided optional forms of municipal government, but some forms carry restrictions and are not available to all municipalities in New Jersey.
(to make matters more complex, New Jersey also distinguishes between regional, consolidated, and countywide school districts and school districts that serve only a single municipality)
As well, the total area of any given airport may or may not lie completely within the boundaries of a given municipality — or even a given county.
All local general purpose governments have equivalent legal powers, with the different forms and types reflecting the historical circumstances of the municipality’s incorporation, similar to New England towns.
(for ‘statistical purposes’, the United States Census Bureau treats only boroughs, cities, towns, and villages as “municipalities”, and townships as “townships”; the Census Bureau’s classification does not reflect the underlying state law that draws no distinction between the ‘5 types’)

-‘new jersey’ is a state in the [‘north-eastern’//’mid-atlantic’ regions] of the ‘united states’–
.
(it is bordered…)
*on the ‘north’ + ‘east’ by ‘new york’*
*on the ‘south-east’ + ‘south’ by the atlantic ocean*
*on the west by ‘pennsylvania’*
*and on the ‘south-west’ by ‘delaware’*
.
(‘new jersey’ is the 4th-smallest state but the 11th-most populous + the most densely populated of the 50 united states)
(‘new jersey’ lies entirely within the ‘combined statistical areas’ of ‘new york city’ + ‘philadelphia and is the third-wealthiest U.S. state by per capita income as of 2014)
(new jersey was inhabited by native americans for more than 2,800 years, with historical tribes such as ‘the lenape’ along the coast)
(in the early 1600s, the dutch and the swedes made the first ‘european settlements)
(the english later seized control of the region, naming it the province of “new jersey” after the largest of the channel islands, “jersey”, and granting it as a colony to sir george carteret and john berkeley, 1st baron berkeley of stratton)
(new jersey was the site of several decisive battles during the american revolutionary war in the 18th century)
(in the 19th century, factories in cities such as camden, paterson, newark, trenton, and elizabeth helped to drive the “industrial revolution”)
(new jersey’s geographic location at the center of the ‘northeast megalopolis’, between boston and new york city to the northeast, and philadelphia, baltimore, and washington, D.C., to the southwest, fueled its rapid growth through the process of suburbanization in the second half of the 20th century)
(in the first decades of the ’21st century’, this ‘suburbanization’ began reverting to ‘consolidation’ of new jersey’s ‘culturally diverse populace’ toward more ‘urban settings’ within the ‘state’, with ‘towns’ home to ‘commuter rail stations’ outpacing the ‘population growth’ of more ‘automobile-oriented suburbs’ since ‘2008’)
