Black Jersey

The nickname given to the South West section of New Jersey, specifically in Camden, Burlington, Gloucester, Sussex, and parts of Cumberland counties. It's named for the area's large black population.

The "region" is built around the ghetto population from Camden and Rowan University in Glassboro.

The name also refers to the suburban communities in those counties populated by middle-class African-Americans. The area is mostly rural with many new cookie-cutter housing developments compromised mostly of those from Philadelphia.

Traveler: I stopped in a Wendys on the Black Horse Pike and they were playing "Hard in the paint" on the restaurant's sound system
