About Freehold Boro Homes For Sale

Freehold Boro is the county seat of Monmouth County. In 1919 voters decided to separate the downtown area from the surrounding farmland areas and thus created Freehold Boro, which is totally surrounded by Freehold Township. Furthermore, land was donated that was suitable for a courthouse, and a village of homes in Freehold quickly grew around the courthouse.

Soon, small businesses followed, and farms began to appear in the surrounding area. But today the two towns now have many shared services, but remain completely independent.

Freehold’s history has many ties to the American Revolution. In fact, it was known as a center of patriot activity. The Declaration of Independence was read aloud from the steps of the Monmouth Courthouse just days after being signed in Philadelphia. During the Revolutionary War The Battle of Monmouth was fought in what is now Monmouth Battlefield State Park. This is in Freehold Twp and Manalapan. A famous figure at the Battle of Monmouth was Molly Pitcher.

In 1852 a railroad station was established in Freehold, contributing to Freehold becoming an important commercial and industrial hub in central New Jersey. The train now goes through town once per week for freight only.
