Interesting item for a present-day resident of Shrewsbury Township, NJ

Shrewsbury is a borough in eastern Monmouth County, in the U.S. state of 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.

When it was formed in 1693, Shrewsbury covered an area of almost 1,000 square miles, 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. 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.

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.
