South Jersey

:''This is about a region in the United States. For the island of Jersey, see Jersey.''
South Jersey comprises the southern portions of the U.S. state of New Jersey between the lower Delaware River and the Atlantic Ocean. The designation is a colloquial one, reflecting not only geographical but perceived cultural differences from the northern part of the state, with no official definition.〔http://blog.nj.com/jerseyblogs/2008/03/where_does_north_jersey_end.html〕
New Jersey is sandwiched between the two large cities of New York in the northeast and Philadelphia in the southwest; Benjamin Franklin called the state "a barrel tapped at both ends".〔Fairall, Herbert (1885). (''The World's Industrial and Cotton Centennial Exposition, New Orleans, 1884-1885'' ). p. 225. Google Book Search. Retrieved on December 4, 2009. "Dr. Benjamin Franklin once perpetrated the witticism 'that New Jersey was like a beer barrel tapped at both ends, with all the live beer running into Philadelphia and New York.'"〕 ''South Jersey'' may be defined geographically as the area below Interstate 195, in particular the "lower eight counties of New Jersey",〔Di Ionno, Mark. ''Backroads, New Jersey'' (p. 49) , 2002. "Some say it's New Jersey's bottom eight counties-Atlantic, Burlington, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester, and Salem."〕 whereas ''North Jersey'' is the area above "Central Jersey". Culturally, South Jersey is defined as the area in New Jersey within the influence of the Philadelphia metropolitan area (also known as the Delaware Valley), in contrast to the rest of New Jersey, located within the New York metropolitan area.
Burlington, Camden and Gloucester counties have several older ''streetcar towns'', and many residents commute to Philadelphia. The ''Courier-Post'' daily newspaper, which refers to itself as "South Jersey's Newspaper" is based in Camden County. It covers all of South Jersey, but focuses primarily on these three counties. The ''Gloucester County Times'' based in the city of Woodbury, however, is the principal newspaper for that county. Salem County and to lesser extents lower Gloucester County and upper Cumberland County serve as residential communities for the industries (mainly petro-chemical) in New Castle County, Delaware. The Atlantic shore areas, in particular Atlantic City in Atlantic County, New Jersey and Cape May have a distinct economy centered on tourism. Cape May has the distinction of being geographically as far south as Washington, D.C., thus giving another sense to the name ''South'' Jersey.
