In 1945, George R. Stewart published Names on the Land, a study of American history through the names given to the places in our country. This course will take the same approach to place names in New Jersey, learning about the events in the Garden State that led to names as diverse as Passaic, Pennsauken, Perth Amboy, and Princeton.
