Editor's Note
This is the fifth and final part of a five-part series
New Jersey is composed of 565 municipalities and scores more sections and hamlets. I, Pete Genovese, have spent a lifetime wandering around and writing about this incredible state. Now, I have compiled the ultimate list: The greatest thing about every single town. Yes, all 565.
Landmarks, attractions, parks, historical tidbits, museums, restaurants — unique features that give each borough, city or township (every type of municipality is a “town,” for this project) its special character or personality.

About the Reporting
New Jersey is composed of 565 municipalities and scores more sections and hamlets. Pete Genovese, who has spent a lifetime wandering around and writing about the state, lists the most interesting thing about all 565 towns — landmarks, attractions, parks, historical tidbits, museums, restaurants — unique features that give each town its special character or personality. Our mission: to show the richness, charm and wonder of New Jersey; no state is more mocked, maligned and misunderstood. Call this five-part series the ultimate guide to New Jersey. You may not have heard of many of these places, and that's a good thing — time to expand your Jersey horizons!
