Below is a link listing all recorded tornadoes in New Jersey since 1950. If you want to know about a particular tornado, please be more specific.
Tornadoes are not given names, hurricanes are. Tornadoes are often referred to by where they occur though. Since the one tornado that occurred in New Jersey in 2010 hit Ocean County you could refer to it as the Ocean County tornado. You could also call it the New Egypt tornado since it occurred near that town.
Records indicate that an F1 tornado hit in or near Freehold on August 10, 1952. Tornadoes can strike anywhere in New Jersey.
Yes, tornadoes can and do occasionally hit New Jersey. While they are not as common as in the central plains states of the U.S., New Jersey does experience tornadoes, typically during severe weather outbreaks or from tropical systems.

New Jersey has had tornadoes as strong as F3, and if it happened before it probably will happen again. An F3 tornado can cause very serious damage.

There do not appear to be any records of tornadoes hitting New Jersey in November 1955 or 1956. However, at this time the majority of weak tornadoes were missed. So it is quite possible that such a tornado occurred, one that would be rated F0 or F1 had it been recorded, but never was surveyed by the National Weather Service.
It's rare but possible. I remember when a tornado did some damage in Union County, New Jersey, not very far west of N.Y.C.
