A 1922 History of Toms River (and Ocean County)
While preparing the next round of century-past articles for the Seaport, we came across this prize-winning essay on the history of Toms River and the county. With another school year coming to a close, marking fully 100 school years since this essay was written, it felt appropriate to share as an interesting reminder of our past through the work of one of our local scholars. It was originally published in the May 5th, 1922 edition of the New Jersey Courier, Toms River’s then-weekly newspaper of record.
