Natural and Social Features of Monmouth County
NATURAL and CULTURAL FEATURES of MONMOUTH COUNTY Background Reading for Environmental Health Investigations MCHD Rev. 07/29/13 INTRODUCTION Monmouth County in central New Jersey is entirely located within the Inner and Outer Coastal Plain, part of the Atlantic Plain geology that extends 2200 miles from Cape Cod to the Yucatan Peninsula (USGS, 2003). There are 53 municipalities within a land area of 471.74 square miles of highly erodible soils that were originally deposited as runoff from the slopes of the Appalachians (MCPB, 2005). Some County History Following Henry Hudson’s exploration of the Sandy Hook shoreline in 1609, Monmouth County was predominantly under Dutch influence from about 1614 to 1664 (Colts Neck Historical Society, 1965). The New Jersey coastline had previously been sited and claimed for England (Giovanni Caboto, 1497), France (Giovanni de Verrazano, 1524), and Spain (Estevan Gomez, 1525); and had been Scheyichbi, Long Land Water, to the Lenape Indian Nation (Colts Neck Historical Society, 1965). Four major trails used by Native Americans terminated at the Navesink River: the Achkinkeshacky (Hackensack) Trail from the Hudson River; the Minisink Trail from the Great Lakes region; the Raritan-Lopotcong Trail from the west, and the Crosweeksung Trail from the southwest. This last trail entered NJ at Trenton, passed through Freehold to the Yellow Brook at Colts Neck, where it split into a northern path to Tinton Falls and Red Bank, and a southern path to the Shark River and Manasquan (NFECA, 2009). The first settlers in Middletown, the oldest settlement in NJ, are reported to have arrived as early as 1613, seven years before the Pilgrims landed in Massachusetts; Middletown was originally called Shaquaset by the Lenape (Boyd, 2004; Mandeville, 1927). -
