This gallery supplements our Glimpse of History feature as well as our regular vintage photo galleries, offering a snapshot of significant events in Garden State history.

We will highlight N.J. politics, music, literature, sports, crime, entertainment and disasters - both natural and manmade. We will share N.J.-timestamped events, from earth-shaking to simply amusing.

For August, there are numerous birthdays of New Jerseyans who've made headlines as well as Little League teams from the state that won it all in Williamsport, Pa.

If there are dates you don't see on our timeline but believe should be remembered, let us know in the comments section.

And, be sure to enable captions for the gallery so you can read all the information associated with each day in New Jersey history.
