The Synod of the Northeast was founded in May 1973,[1] when the General Assembly decided to reorganize its synods on a regional basis. The merger included the following state synods:
- The Synod of New Jersey was established in 1824, when the Presbytery of Jersey was divided into the presbyteries of Newark and Elizabeth Town.[2]
- The Synod of New York
- Synod of New England
There are 19 presbyteries in the synod, and 962 churches.[3]
