It ranks as thesixth largest county in terms of area.Inhabited by more than 600,000 residents,Monmouth County is ranked as thefourth largest county in the state in termsof population.One of the highest points onthe east coast of the United States is thehighlands of northeast MonmouthCounty. These are the first lands one sees,coming from the ocean into New YorkHarbor. It was this land that the Dutchexplorer, Hendrik Hudson, saw in 1609 ashis ship, the Half Moon, made its way intothe river that today bears his name. In hisship’s log, dated “September 2d, 1609,”Hudson wrote,“this is a very good land tofall in with and a pleasant land to see.”Freehold was established as the countyseat in 1719.The first and now the oldestcontinuously operational lighthouse in thecountry was placed in service at SandyHook in 1764.The Battle of Monmouth took placeon June 28, 1778, in what today isManalapan and Freehold Townships. Itwas the largest and fiercest battle of theAmerican Revolution, and was where MaryABOUT MONMOUTHCOUNTYHayes gained fame as “Molly Pitcher”who carried water to thirsty American soldiersduring the scorching hot weather.Later, she took up her husband’s positionat an artillery piece when he was wounded.Every major American general of theWar participated in the Battle, includingGeneral George Washington, who ralliedhis retreating troops to carry the day. It wasthe first major engagement in which theAmerican forces took the offensive.Most historians conclude that theBattle of Monmouth was the turning pointof the American Revolution.
