History

Long Branch was a beach resort town in the late 1700's. In the 1800's it was a "Hollywood" of the east, where some of the greatest theatrical and other performers of the day gathered and performed. By the first half of the 20th century, seven presidents had used Long Branch as a vacation place. Seven Presidents Park, a park near the beach, is named in honor of their visits.

President James Garfield was brought to Long Branch in the hope that the fresh air and quiet in Elberon might aid his recovery after being shot on July 2, 1881, an incident that left the assassin's bullet lodged in his spine. He died here on September 19, 1881, exactly two months before his 50th birthday. James Abram Garfield (November 19, 1831 â€“ September 19, 1881) was the 20th President of the United States (1881) and the second U.S. President to be assassinated (Abraham Lincoln was the first). ...

Originally a resort town with a few hotels and large estates and many farms in the early 20th century, Long Branch grew in population. Italian, Irish and Jewish immigrants settled in during this period. By the 1950's, Long Branch like many other towns had developed new residential spots and housing to make room for the growing population. Many of the former farms of Long Branch were transformed into residential "suburbs". Many of the estates and a few old historic resorts (with the addition of many new ones) still remain.
