Ocean County is a county located along the Jersey Shore in the U.S. state of New Jersey. Its county seat is Toms
River. Ocean County was created on 15 February 1850 and was formed from the southern
portion of Monmouth
County (Consult the Monmouth County for pre-1850 records.).
The County was
named for its location on the Atlantic Ocean. Although Ocean County has
been settled since colonial times, its presence as a separate political
entity is of relatively recent origin. The County was created from lands
divided from Monmouth County in 1850. For much of its early history, the
County was a rural, agricultural and fishing center. During the latter part
of the 1800's and through the 1900's, the resort industry of the New Jersey
Shore was developed, and the commercial activities associated with seasonal
resorts quickly became the County's economic mainstay. Counties that lie adjacent to Ocean are: Monmouth County, New Jersey – north; Atlantic County, New Jersey – south; Burlington County, New Jersey – west. |
