The Borough of
Rumson is located 2 miles west of Sea Bright in Monmouth
County, New Jersey and approximately
24 miles southwest of New
York, New York. This small friendly community is comprised of
approximately 7,322 residents. Due to popular
vote during a referendum held on June 18, 1907, the New Jersey Legislature
formed Rumson from parts of Shrewsbury Township on March 15, 1907. According to local legend, this township got
its name from a land deal. Supposedly,
settlers bartered with local Indians for the land that is now Rumson Township and ended up buying it for some
rum. This is most likely untrue however,
because as far back as 1663, Native Americans referred to this area as
Navarumsunk. Throughout its
history, Rumson has been an affluent suburb and is still one of the better
neighborhoods in New
Jersey.
Residents here enjoy quiet, peaceful lifestyles with access to any
amenities one might desire. There are
great area schools and hospitals as well as local area parks and recreation
centers providing venues for a variety of sports and recreational activities for
all ages. Residents here enjoy
convenient access to very nice beaches just across the Sea Bright Bridge.
Rumson provides convenient access to new York
City as well as a commuter ferry providing quick and easy access to
Manhattan.
