'North Jersey' is a name for the northern part of the U.S. State of New Jersey, which is sandwiched between two important cities: New York City (which North Jersey locals refer to as "The City") and Philadelphia (which South Jersey locals refer to as "The City"). Benjamin Franklin described New Jersey as "a barrel tapped at both ends," and things haven't changed much since. ''North Jersey'' is the primary area of the state within the New York City sphere of influence.
Some define North Jersey as all points in New Jersey north of Interstate 195. Others, primarily those who live in the northern tier of counties, count only that area north of the mouth of the Raritan River.
The true definition of North Jersey is the group of counties closest to New York City: Bergen, Essex, Morris, Passaic, Hudson, Union, Warren, and Sussex.
The historic province of East Jersey in roughly the same area as the contemporary North Jersey.
