## History

[edit]

The New Jersey State League began minor league play on April 14, 1897, as a Class D level four–team league. The New Jersey State League was formed with teams based in the New Jersey cities of Asbury Park, Atlantic City, Bridgeton and Millville as the charter members.[2]

After beginning play on April 14, 1897, the New Jersey State League season ended on June 1, 1897. The player statistics and team standings from the 1897 league are unknown.
