Question

Why did no major city develop in new jersey

Answer 1

This is what I found.

Unlike New York, New Jersey had no natural harbors that could become a good port. So New Jersey did not develop a major city. However, like New York, people of many different racial, religious, and national backgrounds lived in New Jersey. To attract settlers, the proprietors offered large amounts of land.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2
