Monmouth County, County district in eastern New Jersey, United States
The county stretches between Raritan Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, featuring coastal lowlands with rivers, oak forests, and sandy beaches along its eastern edge.
Established in March 1683, Monmouth County played a central role in the American Revolution, particularly during the Battle of Monmouth Court House in 1778.
The county maintains numerous historical buildings, parks, and museums that reflect its maritime heritage, agricultural roots, and connection to the American Revolution.
