Shrewsbury is a borough in eastern Monmouth County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. Located within the heart of the northern Shore region, the borough is a bedroom community of New York City.[15] As of the 2020 United States census, the borough's population was 4,184,[7] its highest decennial count ever and an increase of 375 (+9.8%) from the 2010 census count of 3,809,[16][17] which in turn reflected an increase of 219 (+6.1%) from the 3,590 counted in the 2000 census.[18]

Shrewsbury was formed as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 22, 1926, from portions of Shrewsbury Township, based on the results of a referendum held on May 11, 1926.[19] The borough's name comes from Shrewsbury, England.[20]

History

[edit]
See also: Shrewsbury Township, New Jersey

Shrewsbury was part of the Navesink Patent or Monmouth Tract granted soon after the creation of East Jersey in 1665.[21] The tract included Shrewsbury, along with the other historic towns of Freehold in western Monmouth County and Middletown in northern Monmouth County.[22][23]

When it was formed in 1693, Shrewsbury covered an area of almost 1,000 square miles (2,600 km2), extending to the north to the Navesink River, south to include all of present-day Ocean County, east to the Atlantic Ocean and west to the present-day border of Monmouth County. It retained its size and scope until 1750, when various different municipalities began to break off from it. The first of those being Stafford Township, which was formed in 1750 and taking away much of modern-day Ocean County.[24] The Parker Homestead, one of the oldest structures in the state, was built by early settlers to the region. Many of the early settlers of the region originated from Long Island, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts.[21]

What is now Shrewsbury Township was originally formed on October 31, 1693, and was created as a township by the Township Act of 1798 of the New Jersey Legislature on February 21, 1798. Shrewsbury Borough broke off from Shrewsbury Township, and was officially established on May 11, 1926.

Geography

[edit]

According to the United States Census Bureau, the borough had a total area of 2.19 square miles (5.67 km2), including 2.16 square miles (5.60 km2) of land and 0.03 square miles (0.07 km2) of water (1.32%).[6]

The borough borders the Monmouth County municipalities of Eatontown, Little Silver, Oceanport, Red Bank, Shrewsbury Township and Tinton Falls.[25][26][27]

Shrewsbury Borough prior to 1926 was a part of Shrewsbury Township, which had originally encompassed most of Monmouth and Ocean counties, including several of the other municipalities nearby, until finally shrinking down to under one square mile.[19][28]

Local government

[edit]

Shrewsbury is governed under the borough form of New Jersey municipal government, which is used in 218 municipalities (of the 564) statewide, making it the most common form of government in New Jersey.[40] The governing body is comprised of the mayor and the borough council, with all positions elected at-large on a partisan basis as part of the November general election. A mayor is elected directly by the voters to a four-year term of office. The borough council includes six members elected to serve three-year terms on a staggered basis, with two seats coming up for election each year in a three-year cycle.[4] The borough form of government used by Shrewsbury is a "weak mayor / strong council" government in which council members act as the legislative body with the mayor presiding at meetings and voting only in the event of a tie. The mayor can veto ordinances subject to an override by a two-thirds majority vote of the council. The mayor makes committee and liaison assignments for council members, and most appointments are made by the mayor with the advice and consent of the council.[41][42]

As of 2024, the mayor of Shrewsbury Borough is Republican Kimberly Eulner, who was appointed to serve a term of office ending December 31, 2026. Members of the Borough Council are Council President Brendan Gilmartin (R, 2026), James Daly (R, 2026), Deidre M. DerAsadourian (R, 2025), Donald J. Eddy (R, 2024), Daniel Levy (R, 2024) and Jason Sena (R, 2025).[43][44][45][46][47]

In January 2024, Kimberly Eulner was sworn in as mayor for the team ending December 2026 that became vacant after mayor Erik Anderson stepped down to take office on the Monmouth County Board of County Commissioners. Eulner will serve on an interim basis until the November 2024 general election, when voters will choose a candidate to serve the balance of the two years remaining on Anderson's term of office.[48]

The borough council appointed Jaclyn Woehnker in February 2022 to fill the seat expiring in December 2023 that had been held by Kimberly Eulner until she stepped down from office in December 2021 to take office in the New Jersey General Assembly.[49] Woehnker will serve on an interim basis until the November 2022 general election, when voters will choose a candidate to serve the remainder of the term of office.

In February 2016, the borough council selected Erik Anderson to fill the seat expiring in December 2017 that had been held by William E. Dodge until his resignation earlier that month.[50][51]

The area was first known as Navesink, then Middletown and Shrewsbury County, and finally in 1683 as Monmouth County. Founders were mostly Baptists and Quakers. Purchasers at Middletown and Shrewsbury subscribed £3 or £4, which entitled them to 120 acres with additional increments for wives and children, and 60 acres for each servant. As many as eighty families arrived from Long Island, Rhode Island and Massachusetts during the first years. Quaker meetings were established by 1670. Settlers understood their patent to have endowed them with a right of government."
