A look at noteworthy dates that have shaped the state.
On the first Thursday of each month we will post "This month in N.J. History."
This gallery will supplement our Glimpse of History feature as well as our regular vintage photo galleries, offering a snapshot of significant events in Garden State history.
We will highlight N.J. politics, music, literature, sports, crime, entertainment and disasters - both natural and manmade. We will share N.J.-timestamped events, from earth-shaking to simply amusing.

If there are dates you don't see on our timeline but believe should be remembered, let us know in the comments section.
And, be sure to enable captions for the gallery so you can read all the information associated with each day in New Jersey history.
