Established 1809
New Jersey became an important jurisdiction connecting New York and Pennsylvania Prince Hall lodges, supporting communities in the tri-state region.
New Jersey's Grand Lodge was established early in Prince Hall's northeastern expansion. The state became home to lodges serving communities throughout the region, maintaining connections with neighboring jurisdictions and supporting mutual advancement of Prince Hall ideals.
The Grand Lodge of New Jersey operates as part of the greater Prince Hall Masonic structure, maintaining connections with Grand Lodges across the United States and internationally. As a Prince Hall jurisdiction, it upholds the principles established by Prince Hall and his successors.
Like all Prince Hall Grand Lodges, this jurisdiction is committed to community service, charitable work, education, and supporting the intellectual and moral development of its members and the communities they serve.
