Middletown

This area of New Jersey was settled in 1665, making it one of earliest communities on the East Coast of America. Read about English settlers and local Indians making peace before the gradual development of the land into commercial and residential areas. Maritime trade, railroads, and political divisions have left their marks on this place during many phases of development. Many styles of architecture are seen in the 360 images of buildings, parks, churches, and municipal attractions.[AuthorName]By Randall Gabrielan[/AuthorName][AuthorBio]Randall Gabrielan is a dedicated Monmouth County historian.
