New Jersey's original numbered highway system was first legislated in 1916, succeeding another proposal submitted in 1913 by the State Highway commission. By 1923, 24 routes had been numbered. Due to a lack of central organizing oversight, many routes were legislated, but not numbered.
The new numbers followed a general geographical pattern from north to south - 1–12 in northern New Jersey, 21-28 roughly radiating from Newark, 29-37 from Trenton, 38-47 from Camden, and 48–50 in southern New Jersey. Every state highway, even those forming parts of U.S. Routes, was assigned a number.
