This is where you can find New Jersey

The 3rd State is New Jersey, who joined the Union in 1787. Most of you will arrive in the US via Newark, NJ for a trip to NewYork. New Jersey is bordered by Pennsylvania, Delaware and New York. It was first claimed by the Dutch, who called it New Netherland and also here we met the Swedes, who called their part New Sweden. How original. It's nickname is the Garden State, no more no less, just because the people of New Jersey like gardening. When visiting New Jersey don't forget to pay a visit to Atlantic City, this is the Las Vegas of the East Coast and Cape May, this beautiful City is the most Southern City of NewJersey, packed with Victorian style houses. Cape May is for sure, worth a detour.

Where to find Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania is the second State, who joined the United States in 1787. The Capitol of Pennsylvania is Harrisburg, but the best known city is Philadelphia. Not because of Will Smith or Rocky, but because of the Declaration of Independence on the 4th of July 1776. Pennsylvania is also know for the Amish, these people life in Dutch County and they still travel around with horse and carriage. The nickname of Pennsylvania is Keystone State, because of it's central location and commercial and political importance among the 13 colonies.

Search for the red dot, this is where Delaware is.

Delaware is the first State of the United States erected in 1787, it is the second State in terms of size (only Rhode Island is smaller).The first settlers in the 17th century were the Dutch and the Swede. The name Delaware is taken from the nickname of Sir Thomas West, the governor of Virginia, who was called "Lord de la warr".  Dover is the capitol of Delaware and Wilmington the biggest city. These are more or less the highlights of this State, not really a holiday destination.
