Throughout the 80s to the first half of the 90s, New Jersey Bell kept it's traditional identity. In 1994, Bell Atlantic started rebranding all it's companys to Bell Atlantic-(state), so New Jersey Bell became Bell Atlantic-New Jersey. In 2000, after the Bell Atlantic - GTE merger, the corporation changed it's name to Verizon, and so New Jersey Bell once again changed it's name, this time to Verizon-New Jersey. Verizon-New Jersey's headquarters is the New Jersey Bell Building, 540 Broad Street, Newark, NJ.
