Since the 1930s, this small Cosa Nostra group known as the Simone DeCavalcante Family is the only true resident Mafia borgata to have ever been solely based in the state of New Jersey. With an active membership originating in Ribera, Sicily that ranged from thirty to forty-five inducted mafiosi at their 1960s peak, the DeCavalcantes were always the smallest active Family in the Tristate area. The chart created below represents this membership over a forty-year span from the years 1965 through 1995.
