Economic opportunities, diversity and quality of life were factors in this annual, nationwide list from Money, which includes three communities in New Jersey.
New Jersey s place in the context of the American Revolution is at least somewhat familiar to most modern-day residents, but did you know that around 300 battles or skirmishes were waged here as the colonies fought for independence from Great Britain?
Most of them are commemorated in one way or another nearly 250 years later, thanks in part to the Trenton-based Crossroads of the American Revolution Association, which promotes New Jersey s Revolutionary War sites, connecting some 200 heritage partners statewide.
Executive Director Janice Selinger said one of the things her organization aims to teach people is what daily life was like for New Jersey residents at that time in history Revolutionary Neighbors, the group calls them.

Morris County Commissioners issued a rare public rebuke of a municipality Thursday when they accused Morris Township leaders of quashing a bid for federal funds to advance a long-planned realignment of the Route 24-Columbia Turnpike interchange. It is with significant disappointment that we must announce an indefinite delay in moving forward because the unique opportunity to secure that federal aid, specifically for preliminary engineering, design and right of way acquisition phases, was lost last week, the commissioners statement read.
Studies to remedy the dangers of the heavily trafficked interchange have been in the works for about a decade. Located on the borders of Hanover, Florham Park and Morris Township, the Route 24 exit to Columbia Turnpike south creates a hazard as it feeds directly into the multi-lane intersection of Columbia Turnpike and Park Avenue.
