Did The Mason-Dixon Line Pass Through New Jersey?
NEW JERSEY - It's one of the most persistent geographical myths in the region: that the Mason-Dixon Line, the famed symbolic boundary between the North and the South, cuts through the southern portion of New Jersey. While it's true that parts of South Jersey lie geographically south of the line, the historical and surveyed boundary itself never actually entered the Garden State. The story of the line is a fascinating tale of colonial disputes, expert surveying, and evolving cultural significance.
