price for houses in Red Bank from 1998 to 2007 Red Bank, long part of
Shrewsbury Township, one of Monmouth County’s three original townships, is
believed to have been first used as a locality name in 1736, when Thomas Morford
sold Joseph French "a lot of over three acres on the west side of the
highway that goes to the red bank." Information on Red Bank’s early
settlement is sparse. Its modern history generally begins c.1800 with Barnes
Smock’s purchase of a tract bordering the Navesink River. He opened a tavern,
the all-purpose building of its day, near the river, c.1809. ...Barber and Howes’
1845 Historical Collections of the State of New Jersey... claimed that in 1830
Red Bank contained only two houses, including the tavern by the river, but by
1844 it contained seven stores, one hat manager, two wheelwrights, two lumber
yards, two blacksmiths, two lime kilns, one sash and blind factory, a public
meeting hall, an Episcopal church and sixty dwellings. The town’s principal
commerce was New York City trade, with thirteen sloops and schooners and one
steamboat on that route. ...Red Bank’s expansion was even more dramatic in the
1860s after the arrival of the Raritan and Delaware Bay railroad, a line later
absorbed by the Central Railroad of New Jersey.
