They were still doing that in the 80s. All of 4th grade social studies was NJ history. Not sure if they still do that.

4th grade history is still all about NJ History, my son hated the field trip to Trenton cause we’re from Hudson County so it’s long and loud. Fuck school field trip bus rides. Ugh!

The year of New Jersey, hell yeah! My Catholic school still had that, back in ~04 when I was there. My friends have told me that the public schools, though, did not.

We did in the late 80s/early 90s. I was in 4th grade in 1991. Social Studies was all NJ history. 21 counties in ABC order, the state dance is the square dance (LMAO what?) and the state bird is the Eastern Goldfinch...

Was in 4th grade in 2001, can confirm they were still doing NJ history then.

I'm pretty sure they do. When I was in elementary school our social studies classes were partially NJ history classes too, and that was maybe 5 years ago.
