Rumson, Residential borough in Monmouth County, US.
This New Jersey borough stretches along the Shrewsbury River, featuring residential areas, waterfront properties, and numerous parks across its landscape.
The borough received its official establishment in 1907, emerging from portions of Shrewsbury Township through an act of the New Jersey Legislature.
The Tredwell House, constructed in 1670 and spanning 700 acres, represented the earliest architectural heritage of Rumson until its destruction in 2006.
Students attend the Rumson School District from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade, continuing to Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School for secondary education.
Local narratives suggest the name derives from early European settlers who exchanged rum with Lenape Native Americans, who called the area Navarumsunk.
