[edit] Boundaries
The Province of New Jersey was an English colony that existed within the boundaries of the current U.S. state of New Jersey prior to the American Revolution. The original boundaries of the province were slightly larger than the current state and extended into portions of the present state of New York.
This seems self-contradictory. How could the colony exist 'within the boundaries of the current state' if its boundaries 'were slightly larger than the current state'? Flapdragon 21:31, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
