There are NO unincorporated areas in New Jersey. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.37.173.224 (talk • contribs)
Correct, every place is some kind of municipality.However, there are communities with place names that have not separated from the township that surrounds them. Usually they are defined by a post office zip code or have developed around a train station stop. They may be recognized by the U.S. Census Bureau as a Census-designated place. That is what this category is for. For example, Somerset, New Jersey is located within Franklin Township, Somerset County, New Jersey. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 05:19, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
All unincorporated areas should be included on this page, as every other state uses the County level categorization and State level categorization.
[edit]For our viewers, they should be able to navigate the various communities through a county level (e.g. -> Category:Unincorporated commmunities in ___ County, New Jersey…and then have entries in Category:Unincorporated communities in New Jersey), instead of the 3 entries that are just redirects (Anglesea, NJ, Bivalve, NJ, and Shell Pile, NJ). All other states do this, so why should NJ be any different. A blue tag at the top even says ALL unincorporated communities should be included here.
Not to mention our neighboring states use this method, DE and PA. Such as: Category:Unincorporated communities in Delaware — Thewildone85 (talk) 22:42, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
