The second month of 2017 also brings the year's second installment of the "This Month in New Jersey History" gallery.
The gallery, which supplements our regular vintage photo galleries, offers a snapshot of events that took place in the Garden State in Februaries gone by.
While February is the shortest month on the calendar, it is not short on dates for significant events, births, deaths and crimes.
