  • DEP, Monmouth Nonprofit Add 190 Acres to Allaire State Park
    Septe mber 20, 2019 DEP’S GREEN ACRES PROGRAM PURCHASES 190-ACRE ADDITION TO ALLAIRE STATE PARK IN MONMOUTH COUNTY TRENTON – The Department of Environmental Protection’s Green Acres Program and the nonprofit Monmouth Conservation Foundation have completed the $3.8 million purchase of 190 acres of forests and forested wetlands that will be added to Allaire State Park in Monmouth County. “Acquiring this land and adding it to Allaire State Park has long been a priority for the New Jersey State Park Service,” said Commissioner Catherine R. McCabe. “We are excited to be able to expand the park by purchasing land that offers opportunities for fishing, hiking, biking, bird watching and other outdoor activities. In addition, this purchase protects coastal habitats in the headwaters of the Manasquan River.” Protecting land and natural habitats is a key priority of the DEP. The closing took place Aug. 29, with the Estate of Fred McDowell Jr. The Green Acres Program provided $3,618,000 for the purchase, using a matching grant from the National Park Service. In addition, the Monmouth Conservation Foundation provided $201,000 toward the purchase, of which $100,500 was provided by the Green Acres Program as a nonprofit grant to the foundation. “This didn’t happen by chance,” said Monmouth Conservation Foundation Executive Director William Kastning, “Both the Foundation and the state have had a long-held interest in seeing this land preserved. When the property heirs became interested in selling, we were proud to present the opportunity to the state and initiate conversation. It’s very exciting to see this land protected forever as an addition to Allaire State Park.” At more than 3,200 acres, Allaire State Park is best known for its historic 19th-century iron-making town, Allaire Village, and its antique steam trains on the Pine Creek Railroad.

  • LIBERTY STATE PARK NOW ALMOST FULLY OPEN Christie Administration Hires Unemployed Workers to Aid the Parks Cleanup Effort
    STATE PARKS MAKE GREAT STRIDES TOWARDS POST-SANDY RECOVERY; LIBERTY STATE PARK NOW ALMOST FULLY OPEN Christie Administration Hires Unemployed Workers to Aid the Parks Cleanup Effort (13/P24) JERSEY CITY - The Christie Administration announced today that up to 78 unemployed state residents can be hired by the Department of Environmental Protection to help clean up and restore Sandy storm-damaged state parks through a National Emergency Grant obtained by the state Department of Labor and Workforce Development (DOL). The DEP already has brought on 33 previously unemployed residents through this program who are working at seven state parks, supplementing full-time state work crews on various projects aimed at getting all state parks ready for the upcoming summer tourism season. The DEP is working with DOL on additional hirings. "Getting all of our state parks fully cleaned up and restored for the spring and summer outdoor seasons is a priority for the Christie Administration,'' DEP Commissioner Bob Martin said. "The employees we are hiring through the Department of Labor grants are helping in this important effort at parks that were battered by Superstorm Sandy. They are helping clear debris, repair walkways, restore dunes, and remove trees that are blocking trails and many other important tasks.'' The hirings were announced today during a news conference at Liberty State Park. All of New Jersey's state parks have reopened post-Sandy, including Liberty. Most of Liberty Walk (the Hudson River Walkway), which offers unparalleled views of the Statue of Liberty and the New York skyline, has reopened. The Caven Point section of the park recently re-opened, and some 300 of the park's 343 public use acres now are accessible.

  • Wall Township, Incorporated March 7, 1851 by an Act of the New Jersey Legislature, Embraces Approximately Thirty-Two Square Miles in Southern Monmouth County
    This in-depth history is kindly offered by Alyce Salmon, Township Historian Emerita. Reproduced by permission. Wall Township, incorporated March 7, 1851 by an Act of the New Jersey Legislature, embraces approximately thirty-two square miles in southern Monmouth County. Wall's ancestors settled first in East Jersey's Shrewsbury Township. This land was already inhabited by the Lenni Lenape, an Algonquian group of Indians (Native Americans) who lived in loosely - knit family groups in the greater Delaware area. Clans managed decisions on marriage and descent, leaving the people to their individual governance. Current research on Lenape life includes books, excavations such as the one at Turkey Swamp and "Pow Wows" presented by the Delaware people themselves. King Charles II of England in 1664 decided to colonize the land he owned between the Hudson and the Delaware Rivers. He dispatched Colonel Robert Nicolls to subdue the Dutch and establish settlements. Nicolls was remarkably successful and named the land "Albania." But before he could return to England, the King granted his brother, James Duke of York, these same lands. The Duke named the tract "Novo Cesarea" or "New Jersey," then gave the territory to court favorites Sir John Carteret and John Lord Berkeley. The result was that two different patent claims were made for the same land, causing title problems which persist to today. New Jersey was divided into East and West Jersey. Upon the death of Berkeley, the land was leased in 1682 by The General Board of Proprietors of the Eastern Division of New Jersey. In 1688, Berkeley's lands were organized as The Council of Proprietors of the Western Division.
