About Freehold Homes For Sale
Historic Freehold Township was formed in 1693. Along with Middletown and Shrewsbury, Freehold was one of the three original towns in Monmouth County, and was designated as the seat of the Monmouth County government.
Freehold’s history has many ties to the American Revolution and in fact was known as a center of patriot activity. A few days after being signed in Philadelphia, the Declaration of Independence was read aloud from the steps of the Monmouth Courthouse.
The Battle of Monmouth was fought in what is now Monmouth Battlefield State Park, which is in Freehold Twp and Manalapan.
A railroad station was established in Freehold in 1852, and this contributed to Freehold becoming an important commercial and industrial hub in central New Jersey.
In 1919 voters decided to separate the downtown area from the surrounding farmland areas, thus creating Freehold Boro, which is totally surrounded by Freehold Township. However, Freehold Boro kept the designation of being the county seat.
