History

Fair Haven is believed to have been seasonally inhabited by Native Americans prior to the coming of European settlers in the 1660s, but little is known of those early days.

Shrewsbury Township is a township located in Monmouth County, New Jersey. ...


The town's first permanent dwelling was built by Jeremiah Chandler in 1816 on the banks of the Navesink River near the foot of what is now Fair Haven Road. The river provided an economic base for a growing community. By 1850, "Chandler's Dock" had been erected on a site adjacent to the present town dock. Steamboats on the New York City-Red Bank run made regular stops. They transported oysters and other river harvest to the city. During the latter years of the 19th and early part of the 20th centuries, boats such as the "Seabird" and "Albertina" (depicted on the Borough seal) continued that trade and brought numerous summer visitors, many of whom were famous vaudevillians. Nearby boarding houses and the old VanTine and Atlantic Hotels catered to this clientèle. The vaudevillians organized the Player's Club, whose site now serves as home to the Shrewsbury River Yacht Club.

The mid-19th century witnessed construction of many houses along the road leading to Chandler's Dock. Now called Fair Haven Road, the street was then the heart of town. In recognition of the many 19th century structures still found there, this part of town has become popularly known as the "Old Village".


By the late 1800s, development of the Old Village had been largely completed. Later years would witness at least two other periods of major building in town, but throughout the past century, the original Old Village has remained remarkably unchanged, and it retains today a great deal of its 19th century appearance and atmosphere. the Old Village is now contained in an Historic District.
