"...God is from New Jersey,
He brought the whole house down,
West Virginia's almost heaven,
But Bayonne's God's home town..."

On June 1 of 1933 
New Jersey becomes the fifth state to approve the Twenty-first Amendment repealing the Eighteenth Amendment that initiated Prohibition. During Prohibition, New Jersey served as a key entry point for bootlegged liquor from Canada into the US, particularly through Absecon Island in Atlantic County brought in from boats offshore and local political leaders would openly defy efforts to enforce prohibition.

Atlantic City's Convention Hall is dedicated. It served as the home of the Miss America pageant from 1929 until 2004 and in 1964 was the site of the Democratic National Convention which nominated Lyndon B. Johnson for president and Hubert H. Humphrey for vice president.

On May 30 of 1924
A crowd estimated at 20,000 people attends the dedication of a 66-foot high granite obelisk, modeled after the Washington Monument, commemorating the one million soldiers who passed through Camp Merritt in Bergen County on their way to fight in Europe during World War I. General John J. "Cactus Jack" Pershing gives the featured address at the dedication of the monument, which is located on the border of Cresskill and Dumont.

Archibald Cox, Jr., the Special Prosecutor in the Watergate investigation who was fired by President Nixon on October 21, 1973, in what became known as the "Saturday Night Massacre," dies at the age of 92. ​Cox was born in Plainfield on May 17, 1912. 

On May 28 of 1898
One worker is killed and two injured in an explosion in a mixing mill at the smokeless powder works of the Dupont Company at Carney's Point on the Delaware River. The explosion is caused by a pebble in the mixing trough which ignited a fire that destroyed three mills. Francis G. Dupont, Alexis Dupont, and Pierre Dupont supervised efforts to put out the fire including, at the risk of their lives, entering a burning storehouse to remove 200 pounds of gun cotton to a place of safety.

On May 27 of 1990
Robert Baumle Meyner, a Democrat who served two terms as the 44th governor of New Jersey from 1954 to 1962, dies at the age of 81. Meyner was known as a fiscal conservative who advocated for expanded state support for education. He became a candidate for president in the 1960 election, receiving 43 votes at the Democratic National Convention, but angered several New Jersey delegates by refusing to withdraw as a candidate to allow them to vote for John F. Kennedy, the eventual nominee on the first ballot. In 1969, he again  was  the Democratic nominee for governor, losing to Republican William Cahill.
