List of New Jersey state symbols : ウィキペディア英語版 | List of New Jersey state symbols
This is a list of official symbols of the U.S. state of New Jersey. Official symbols of New Jersey are codified in the laws of New Jersey. ==History== A decade-long campaign by a Haddon Township teacher led to the selection of Hadrosaurus foulkii as the official state fossil in June 1991. This example of the dinosaur was excavated in 1858 from a marl pit near Haddonfield as one of the most complete dinosaur skeletons to be reconstructed. It remains on display at the New Jersey State Museum, where it has been on display since 1931.〔Gray, Jerry. ("New Jersey's Dinosaur In Need of a New Look; Replica From Hadrosaurus's Heyday Is Outdated, According to Expert" ), ''The New York Times'', August 7, 1999. Accessed June 2, 2010.〕 In what ''The New York Times'' described as a "food fight", Assemblymember Clare Farragher argued in 2003 that the tomato has a strong historical association with the Garden State and that "the Jersey tomato does have a unique taste" that derives from the characteristics of the soil on the Atlantic coast.〔Grabell, Michael J. ("UP FRONT: WORTH NOTING; Is This a Food Fight Or the State Assembly?" ), ''The New York Times'', March 2, 2003. Accessed June 2, 2010.〕 Legislation ultimately passed in 2003 establishing the blueberry as New Jersey's official state fruit.〔(52:9A-9 LEGISLATIVE HISTORY CHECKLIST ), New Jersey State Library. Accessed June 2, 2010.〕 In online balloting, "New Jersey: Come See For Yourself" was selected by the 11,000 participants in 2006 as the winner, from a slogan originally submitted by a resident of Passaic, New Jersey.〔(Governor's Call to Action ), State of New Jersey, January 12, 2006. Accessed June 2, 2010.〕 The Governor of New Jersey announced the new slogan in January 2006, after having previously rejected the slogan "We'll Win You Over", which had been developed by an advertising agency at the cost of $250,000 and was deemed to be "too negative and prone to ridicule". "Come See For Yourself" edged out second-place finisher "New Jersey: The Best Kept Secret" by approximately 100 votes.〔Jones, Richard Lezin. ("New Jersey Picks a Slogan: Come Read It for Yourself" ), ''The New York Times'', January 13, 2006. Accessed June 2, 2010.〕
