Despite its name, it is not the official state fair of New Jersey, but instead, that honor belongs to the New Jersey State Fair, which purchased the state fair moniker in 1999. Instead, the name for the Meadowlands event is a title sponsorship; State Fair Superstore, a large seasonal merchandise seller and equipment rental company in Little Falls, New Jersey, operates the carnival.
