Play around with our searchable database of New Jersey baby names from 1910 to 2011, with data courtesy of the Social Security Administration.
"The Boss" was born during the heyday of New Jersey's infatuation with the name Bruce, according to Social Security Administration Data on baby names. Springsteen — born in Long Branch on Sept. 23, 1949 — entered this world in the early stages of New Jersey's Bruce craze, which lasted from about 1947 to 1956. Between 500 and 650 boys were given the name Bruce annually during that period, more than at any other point in New Jersey history. The name remained relatively popular into the early 1960s, but has gradually fallen from popularity in spite of Springsteen's lasting legacy. Whitney Houston, on the other hand, was born at a time when her name was nearly unheard of in New Jersey. When Houston was born in Newark in 1963, she was one of …

Camp Evans facility without power since December
After being without power for months following Hurricane Sandy, InfoAge Science & History museum will open to the public on Saturday, officials said. Thanks to the use of a generator on loan from town hall, the museum will open for its regular hours from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and will attempt to keep regular hours for the foreseeable future, according to Fred Carl, president of the museum. Power to Camp Evans, a national landmark that contains InfoAge, comes not from the regular power grid, but from long-dated Army transformers, which were weakened by fluctuations in power during the recent storm. They finally gave out shortly after Christmas, Township Committeeman George Newberry has said. The transformers that move power …
