Something tells me there are more places that start with "York" as opposed to "Jersey", so there are more chances to cause confusion in the former case.

I'm more interested in why it never caught on regionally. There would rarely ever be any confusion, nobody in the states would think you were talking about York England. But it still never caught on for whatever reason.

I think the regional name for New York is "the city".

It looks like this is for the actual island Jersey, and not New Jersey. I was pretty confused at first. People here on the East Coast call the state "Jersey" as often as we call it "New Jersey". Which is interesting now that I think of it, nobody EVER calls New York just "York".
