South Jersey - Definition and Overview

South Jersey includes the New Jersey portion of the Delaware Valley in the United States.

New Jersey is sandwiched between two important cities: New York City and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. "South Jersey" is theoretically the area within the Philadelphia sphere of influence, whereas "North Jersey" is the area within New York City's influence.

South Jersey is often defined as the area encompassing the historic province of West Jersey, which is roughly in the same area as the contemporary South Jersey.

The Jersey Devil has been alleged to be located in the Pine Barrens regions of South Jersey.
