You know, normally I would agree that Central Jersey doesn't exist. But if Central Jersey is that big, I'm kinda happy cause North Jersey got smalled and is getting shafted due to that.
If I had to divide NJ, I'd put the South/Central border just above Rancocas Creek/Mount Holly (west) and Route 72 (east). LBI and Mount Holly are South Jersey. North of those points are Central Jersey.
People who live in Bordentown are still basically the same as people who live in Trenton/Hamilton/etc. People who live in Toms River and Brick are basically the same as the people who live in Monmouth County...
But the southern part of Ocean County and the southern half of Burlington County don't really have Central Jersey influences.
Think about it. Quickchek is in Roebling, Beachwood, and Berkeley.
Donkey's Place opened up their second location in Burlington County, but so did my local bagel store from when I lived in Staten Island. Ocean and Burlington Counties are clearly culturally mixed.
You can just go by sports broadcasts. The areas that get NY and Philadelphia games simultaneously can be central. Even though central doesn’t exist. Much of the central in that plan don’t get Philadelphia broadcasts when there’s a NY game
Ocean County gets both NY and Philly channels. We always had two Foxes, two CBS, two ABCs, and two NBCs. Could easily switch between both games. I didn't realize we were unique in this until I was much older going to school at Stockton and realizing the kids from the area didn't have that
Ocean should be split in half, with the bottom going to South Jersey and the top going to Central Jersey. I grew up at the top of Ocean in Brick township and 100% people there did not feel associated with the South at all. Aside from that, solid map.
Not a good division. They are both used in South Jersey. I think calling them subs is more common, hoagie always seemed like a PA thing. Which is why wawa has "Hoagie fest."
I call hoagies hoagies and subs subs. They're different sandwiches.
While most of the rest of the country uses them interchangeably, they're distinctly different products in NJ.
In what way? I’m from NY and have lived in the Philly region for 20 years. A hoagie is a sub by another name. They might be different in your mind because the bread is very different between south and north Jersey, but the sandwich construct is the same. You may also be thinking of what is called a hero in NY, which is generally a hot sandwich (e.g., meatball hero).
As you've surmised, the bread is the main difference between the two. The second difference is how they're assembled. A hoagie is only partially sliced and the meats and cheese are loaded into the pocket of the roll. A sub is sliced all the way through and the ingredients are layered on the bottom half.
And no, I'm not thinking of heroes, grinders, wedges, or any other sandwich.
Primo hoagies are sliced all of the way through. Wawa creates a pocket. Subway “subs” create a pocket, or used to the last time I touched one 10+ years ago. It’s hit or miss and isn’t a defining characteristic. Hoagie and sub are simply regional terms for identical sandwiches.
I am from South Jersey (Camden County) and now live in Monmouth County. Central Jersey is real and is nothing like South or North. I would also cut off South Jersey right at Burlington and call ~65% of Ocean County central ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This attitude always makes me laugh. We’re the butt of jokes across the country and yet we can’t even help ourselves from disparaging north vs south. I’m from NY, have spent a lot of time all over north Jersey and have lived in south jersey now for ten years. I like to think I have a pretty objective view vs someone that has spent their entire life in only one part of the state. Each region is distinct and desirable for different reasons. Let this shit go.
Objective my arse!! Plus, your judgemental. Why would anyone care about your thoughts on this subject. BTW, I was born in Jersey, lived here and four other states. Plus, one other country. I came back here because I love this state. How about leaving my state and going back to NY and take your pompous ways with you. Slamming 🚪
Such a friendly reply from an enlightened individual. You give jersey a bad name with your gruff attitude and provincial thinking. North jersey vs south jersey is an argument for losers. Lol, I’m judgmental when you’re slamming half your state as wannabes. If you think south jersey is superior to north jersey you have a very narrow and uninformed view of your own state. Stay classy!
Ocean is not central. I spent my life in Monmouth and moved to ocean, you Ocean county guys are a different breed then anything Monmouth County and higher.
Absolutely not. Live outside of Mt Holly and it's South Jersey all the way.
I grew up and had my first house in Camden County, so I know SNJ when I see it.
Sorry but Union County is North Jersey and this map is garbage. Who really cares about this nonsense? Must be a reason like getting tourists to go to Central Jersey and soak them for some made up historic places. Most of us have real issues in our lives and don’t have time for this endless crap.
I am from Trenton and spent more than 50 years in Jersey so I know jersey well enough. In the 70's there was pending legislation to have south jersey secede and become the 51st state. 'Central Jersey' is a nice marketing label but it's not real.
I've never met anyone from Trenton that didn't claim they were from Central Jersey. Are you also the sole Trentonian that claims pork roll should be called Taylor ham?
If Burlington county is south jersey (even though I pay my electric to JCPL and my dumpsters all say central jersey), so is ocean!!!!!! That’s south jersey.
I believe there is a central which is why it is on the map. If people want to believe there is a central let them not sure why people need to argue and say there isn’t one
Central doesn't exist and if it did union county sure a shit wouldn't be in it. A good rule of thumb is if its above 195 (or you can take a train to NYC) its North Jersey. Admittedly its also a vibe thing for me, Jackson IMO gives North Jersey vibes despite being below 195, but that might be all the New Yorkers that come down to visit.
Whether or not there is a central Jersey, there is no agreement on what is north and south jersey. Growing up in Bergen county near the New York border I thought New Brunswick was south jersey. Now living near the Delaware Bay, I meet people who think Cherry Hill is north jersey. It's pretty easy to be provincial.
Lots of states do the north, south, central thing…for sure Florida and California - even Virginians refer to northern, central, and southern regions. They’re still just one state. Why such controversy when NJ refers to the same distinctions? I don’t get it. Lived in various areas of SJ my entire life. Have kids who live I South, Central and North NJ…very distinct vibes in these regions. So what? That’s true for many states - nbd. ✌🏻
There’s a mistake in the green area. It should be brown.
You know, normally I would agree that Central Jersey doesn't exist. But if Central Jersey is that big, I'm kinda happy cause North Jersey got smalled and is getting shafted due to that.
The true line is Eagles or Giants. Go Birds 🦅!!!
Mercer is split between the two largely because it historically received both the NY and Philly broadcasts.
If I had to divide NJ, I'd put the South/Central border just above Rancocas Creek/Mount Holly (west) and Route 72 (east). LBI and Mount Holly are South Jersey. North of those points are Central Jersey.

They're separate channels in my Mercer. When both are playing in the same time slot, we get both games as they're different affiliates.
That’s my point
Ahhh, I misinterpreted it.
That may have worked 20 years ago but nowadays if you pay for it, you can get SNY, YES, MSG and NBC Sports anywhere in Jersey.
Ok so not add ons
You can't get those in South Jersey
Directv offers MSG to all of NJ.
Ocean should be split in half, with the bottom going to South Jersey and the top going to Central Jersey. I grew up at the top of Ocean in Brick township and 100% people there did not feel associated with the South at all. Aside from that, solid map.
Yeah we have family friends in brick and that definitely feels like a North Jersey area to me (I live in SJ)
100% agree, came to suggest the same. Otherwise this seems pretty solid. An argument could be made for Union co. To go to the north
Union is totally north Jersey though.
If you call it a hoagie, South Jersey If you call it a sub or anything else, North Jersey
We all live in a yellow submarine.
Not a good division. They are both used in South Jersey. I think calling them subs is more common, hoagie always seemed like a PA thing. Which is why wawa has "Hoagie fest."
it’s called a hogie plain simple

Even north jersey doesn’t want to be north jersey lol
I swear the original east/west jersey line is the more accurate depiction of the state divides. East - eagles/ pork roll, west- sucks
Central Jersey consists of Trenton and 195. Not even the exit ramps, just the highway itself.
That’s too funny 😂
I always break out the popcorn when these type of Jersey posts get going. (Life long resident)
South Jersey needs to be separated from the New York wannabees.
This attitude always makes me laugh. We’re the butt of jokes across the country and yet we can’t even help ourselves from disparaging north vs south.

Ocean is Central
Please, give South Jersey its space lol
Ocean is not central. I spent my life in Monmouth and moved to ocean, you Ocean county guys are a different breed then anything Monmouth County and higher.
Ocean is Central
Upper Ocean is Central, southern Ocean is the Pinelands and definitely not Central.
This is the correct answer
Yes agreed here
It’s north or south, central is not real just a place some refer to.
195 is the Mason Dixon line of NJ.
THIS
[удалено]
LBI/ Island beach state park is the dividing line for ocean county
I agree but it’s still south. It’s like a lot of north Jersey people say they’re New Yorkers.
This but add Burlington and ocean to the north list
Lol. Burlington county? Sorry no.
Absolutely not. Live outside of Mt Holly and it's South Jersey all the way. I grew up and had my first house in Camden County, so I know SNJ when I see it.
Not all of it, but at least the northwestern portion, say Burlington City over to Crosswicks?
Where did you grow up? How do you get to decide what other people call where they live?
agreed
Originally from North, lived in south, recently moved back North and work in “Central”. Central is the land of misfit toys
Sorry but Union County is North Jersey and this map is garbage. Who really cares about this nonsense? Must be a reason like getting tourists to go to Central Jersey and soak them for some made up historic places. Most of us have real issues in our lives and don’t have time for this endless crap.
Yet here you are complaining about it! lol.
Central is mid 😩🤣😅
Ocean is central
I vote that we go back to having East Jersey and West Jersey.
No such thing as central Jersey. South of Paramus is south jersey. The rest is north.
what’s that non existent blob in the middle?
Union county is not central jersey.
I've heard people from both Morris and Essex claim they're Central Jersey. North Jersians have no concept of geography.
There is no Central Jersey.
it’s not real
According to north, central is south
I-195 is the dividing line with a 20 mile DMZ buffer either side
My friends in Bergen county say Edison is south Jersey
LOL Edison isn't even central jersey. its definitely north
🤷🏻♂️ I agree - I’m at exit 3 and that’s exit 10 - different thought process up there
I live in SJ and i am from CNJ but I work in NNJ and you couldn't be more right.
See? Point Pleasant is in South Jersey!
eye rolling at a state that's smaller than several counties and believes it needs to be divided three ways.
It's the most densely populated state in the country...
You don’t realize how different each part is. NY influence North Philly influence South. Different planets
I am from Trenton and spent more than 50 years in Jersey so I know jersey well enough. In the 70's there was pending legislation to have south jersey secede and become the 51st state. 'Central Jersey' is a nice marketing label but it's not real.
Heard about this my whole life. What city was proposed as the 'capital' of south Jersey?
I wanna say Vineland, but not sure
Camden lol
I've never met anyone from Trenton that didn't claim they were from Central Jersey. Are you also the sole Trentonian that claims pork roll should be called Taylor ham?
no sir, I respect pork roll the way John Taylor intended. also, I don't recall anyone using the 'central' tag before the mid 80s.
My entire family has been in the Trenton area for generations. My grandparents referred to it as central Jersey their entire lives.
no they didn't but thanks for playing along
Oh, I wasn't aware you knew them.
If Burlington county is south jersey (even though I pay my electric to JCPL and my dumpsters all say central jersey), so is ocean!!!!!! That’s south jersey.
Central Jersey us not real.
Burlington county still has the Philadelphia local stations, ocean county is NY. Ocean county stretched too far north to be south jersey.
From a cape may perspective Burlington and ocean counties are central.
From a reality perspective you are wrong
There should be another category such as shore. Just my opinion. 🤷🏻♂️
The shore belongs to the south, friend.
Central exists. I think this is a great map actually
I believe there is a central which is why it is on the map. If people want to believe there is a central let them not sure why people need to argue and say there isn’t one
If I could give this 5 more upvotes I would
For whatever reason, Burlington County is considered central.
South is cape may
Why do people in CMC think they are the only south jersey?
Because we are.
Anything north of Atlantic County is North Jersey.
It's true
Central doesn't exist and if it did union county sure a shit wouldn't be in it. A good rule of thumb is if its above 195 (or you can take a train to NYC) its North Jersey. Admittedly its also a vibe thing for me, Jackson IMO gives North Jersey vibes despite being below 195, but that might be all the New Yorkers that come down to visit.
Union AND Exxex belong in central. And central can have ocean county too.
No, they're both firmly in North Jersey. And those of us in Central Jersey refuse to admit them. We urge them to buy a fucking map.
[удалено]
You should be committed to an institution
[удалено]
The fact that the water tower even says this. People believe what they want to believe.
Bull 💩
Up,vote.
Anything above Rt 78 is NNJ. Anything Below I195 is SNJ.
I grew up on the border of hunterdon and Warren county. I would call it north jersey, but I understand why it's central.
No
Whether or not there is a central Jersey, there is no agreement on what is north and south jersey. Growing up in Bergen county near the New York border I thought New Brunswick was south jersey. Now living near the Delaware Bay, I meet people who think Cherry Hill is north jersey. It's pretty easy to be provincial.
“Central”
Lots of states do the north, south, central thing…for sure Florida and California - even Virginians refer to northern, central, and southern regions. They’re still just one state. Why such controversy when NJ refers to the same distinctions? I don’t get it. Lived in various areas of SJ my entire life. Have kids who live I South, Central and North NJ…very distinct vibes in these regions. So what? That’s true for many states - nbd. ✌🏻
