Stagecoach lines
Abstract

New Jersey’s earliest European settlers used the paths created by the Lenape, the Native Americans living in the area. During the early eighteenth century, the colony began building “common highways,” and by mid-century, it could boast more roads than any other colony. Among the earliest conveyances using these rudimentary roads were Jersey wagons—lumbering, long-bodied, canvas-topped vehicles with wide wheels designed to negotiate the region’s soft, sandy soil. These wagons required four- and six-horse teams to pull them. Soon primitive stagecoaches, smaller versions of the Jersey wagon, were built to haul passengers as well as merchandise. They lacked windows and doors, and passengers sat on benches along the sides. Their lack of springs resulted in rides so bumpy that on occasion passengers were knocked unconscious.
