The gift, which totals more than $8.75 million, was made by Dorothy Young, of Ocean Grove, whose family has a long connection with the college. Her father graduated from the Drew Theologi­ cal School in 1901, and her brother, Sherman Plato Young, was a Latin and Greek professor and varsity baseball coach at Drew for many years. Her gift comes from the Gilbert N. Kiamie Charitable Trust which was created by Young’s late husband and managed by her, grandson James C. Perkins, and great-grandson James E. Perkins. Mrs. Young’s generosity has allowed the university to move forward with construction of the Dorothy Young Center for the Arts scheduled to be open by January 2003. The university will break ground for the new building on April 5, 2001. Drew President Thomas H. Kean said, “Dorothy and her family long ago gave their hearts to Drew. Now her name will grace a building devoted to the arts which she loves so intensely. Over the years, she and her late husband, Gilbert, were major benefactors of the Sherman Plato Young Scholarship at Drew, and a prior contribution of $600,000 through gift annuities will eventually endow the Dorothy Young Scholarship in the Arts. A philanthropist with many interests, Mrs. Young is a 30-year member of the board of the Jersey Shore Medical Center, belongs to the Daughters of the American Revolution, and the Eastern Star, and is active in the Ocean Grove Historical Society and St.

    Welcome to Monmouth County History The Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders and the Historical Commission welcome you to the Eighth Annual Weekend in Old Monmouth self-guided tour of historic sites. This year the tour includes more than 45 sites organized into four segments: North or Yellow Tour - sites 1 - 13 East or Blue Tour - sites 14 - 23 South or Green Tour - sites 24 - 33 West or Red Tour - sites 34 – 44 Experience indicates that some tour followers attempt to visit as many sites as possible while others opt for a small number, often those close to home. Regarding organization, the tour places some widely separated sites in a semblance of order. Conversely, other sites are located close together. Visitors may see the sites in any order, or no order, or reverse the sequence from the proposed starting points. Three of the sub-tours begin in proximity to county borders, while the fourth, or East, begins in a population center and is readily accessible from the Garden State Parkway. In addition, the Tour Booklet points out a number of opportunities to leave the proscribed order. The suggested routes offer logical, easy-to-follow directions, but those familiar with the local landscape or possessing GPS systems may wish to use alternate roads. We suggest making a point to visit Site 44A, the Monmouth County Historical Association Museum and Library.

  • 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.
