Long Branch, New Jersey
Long Branch is a beachside city in Monmouth County, New Jersey, United States. As of the 2010 United States Census, the city's population was 30,719, reflecting a decline of 621 from the 31,340 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 2,682 from the 28,658 counted in the 1990 Census. Long Branch was formed on April 11, 1867, as the Long Branch Commission, from portions of Ocean Township. Long Branch was incorporated as a city by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on April 8, 1903, based on the results of a referendum, replacing the Long Branch Commission. Long Branch was a beach resort town in the late 18th century, named for its location along a branch of the South Shrewsbury River. In the 19th century, theatrical performers of the day gathered and performed there, it was visited by presidents Chester A. Arthur, James A. Garfield, Ulysses S. Grant, Benjamin Harrison, Rutherford B. Hayes, William McKinley, Woodrow Wilson. Seven Presidents Park, a park near the beach, is named in honor of their visits.
The Church of the Presidents, where all seven worshiped, is the only structure left in Long Branch associated with them. President Garfield was brought to Long Branch in the hope that the fresh air and quiet might aid his recovery after being shot on July 2, 1881, an incident that left the assassin's bullet lodged in his spine, he died here on September 19, 1881 two months before his 50th birthday. The Garfield Tea House, constructed from railroad ties, laid to carry Garfield's train, is in Elberon; the famous Long Branch Saloon of the American Old West, located in Dodge City, was given its name by its first owner, William Harris, who had moved west from Long Branch, New Jersey, his hometown. A resort town with a few hotels and large estates and many farms in the early 20th century, Long Branch grew in population. Italian and Jewish immigrants settled in during this period. During the 1930s, the city used government policies to enforce racial segregation against Blacks at local beaches, assigning all black applicants for beach passes to a single, segregated beach.
By the 1950s, Long Branch like many other towns had developed new residential spots and housing to make room for the growing population. Many of the former farms of Long Branch were transformed into residential suburbs. Many of the estates and a few old historic resorts still remain. In the early 20th century, Long Branch lost much of its activity as a theater spot. In addition, the opening of the Garden State Parkway in the mid-1950s allowed shore visitors to access points further south, which added to Long Branch's decline; the civil unrest of the 1960s caused riots in neighboring Asbury Park, many fled the shore cities for the suburban towns west of the beach. Decades the older, more dilapidated parts of the resort town were condemned and redeveloped, in part by using eminent domain legislation. Long Branch still continues to be a popular resort area. Many people from New York City travel or settle into the area to escape the crowded city and enjoy Long Branch's beaches; the area attracts some tourists from the Philadelphia area as well.
On October 29, 2012, Long Branch was one of many shore communities that were devastated by Hurricane Sandy. Although Sandy's winds were powerful, Long Branch's position between Long Beach Island and Sea Bright gave Long Branch a much larger wall of security because it could not be engulfed by surrounding waters. Despite this mainland advantage, there were still several instances of flooding in Long Branch during the storm. Many residents went without electricity for as long as two weeks; the boardwalk was destroyed. Long Branch takes its name from south branch of the Shrewsbury River. According to the United States Census Bureau, the city had a total area of 6.283 square miles, including 5.274 square miles of land and 1.009 square miles of water. The city borders the Monmouth County communities of Deal, Monmouth Beach, Ocean Township and West Long Branch. There are several distinct neighborhoods and areas in the City of Long Branch, each with its own character. Unincorporated communities and place names located or within the city include Branchport, East Long Branch, Hollywood, Kensington Park, North Long Branch, Pleasure Bay and West End.
Other areas include North End, Beachfront North and South and Uptown. As the city's redevelopment initiatives continue to expand, the lower Broadway area will become an Arts District. In years past, Long Branch was a major destination for beachgoers, along with Asbury Park, enjoyed an upscale connotation with tourists. Long Branch is home to Seven Presidents Oceanfront Park, named for the United States presidents who visited the fashionable resort town, including Ulysses S. Grant, Chester A. Arthur, Rutherford Hayes, Benjamin Harrison, William McKinley, Woodrow Wilson and James Garfield. Long Branch's fame as the Nation's First Seaside Resort waned in the years following World War II; the defining moment marking the end of this era occurred on June 8, 1987 when the largest fire in the history of the city destroyed the landmark amusement pier and adjoining Haunted Mansion, "Kid's World" Amusement Park and other businesses. Broadway Center is a planned entertainment and commercial hub of Long Branch, as envisioned by the City Government and Thompson Design Group, w

New Jersey Route 13
Route 13 is a short state highway in the communities of Point Pleasant and Bay Head, New Jersey, both of which are in Ocean County. The route consists of the Lovelandtown Bridge, a distinct part of Bridge Avenue, maintained by the county as County Route 632; the route was unsigned until new mileposts were installed in 2017. Route 13 was designated in the 1953 New Jersey state highway renumbering as a re-designation of Route 13E from Hollywood Boulevard to Bay Avenue; the route was first assigned in 1938, when the state took over maintenance of the fifth segment of Ocean County Route 13 built in 1929, intending it to reach New Jersey Route 37 in Bay Head from Beaver Dam Road, a distance of 1.76 miles. The takeover did not reach that point, the bridge and its approaches count for 0.56 miles of the intended length. Route 13 received several reconstructions since 1929, including a replacement in 1971 and rehabilitation in 2005. Route 13 begins at an intersection where Ocean County Route 632 meets Hollywood Place in Point Pleasant.
There, the state-maintenance begins. The route heads eastward along Bridge Avenue, passing to the south of local businesses and to the north of local residences. There, Route 13 begins a curve to the northeast onto the Lovelandtown Bridge approach, crossing some dead-end local roads and a marina before reaching the Point Pleasant Canal and onto the lift bridge; the bridge soon re-enters land, where it parallels Elm Avenue for a short distance before turning away to the southeast. The route heads into downtown Bay Head, where it reaches an intersection with Bay Avenue, its eastern terminus. County Route 632 continues eastward to New Jersey Route 35; the bridge over the Point Pleasant Canal, the Lovelandtown Bridge, was constructed in 1929 for a continuous route above Bridge Avenue. The designation of Route 13 originated as an alignment of Ocean County Route 13-E, a highway maintained by the county. In 1938, the state legislated a takeover of the fifth segment of the county route, a portion of highway from New Jersey Route 37 at Bay Head to an intersection with Beaver Dam Road, including the Lovelandtown Bridge.
The route was to be 1.76 miles long, The designation came into effect on July 2, 1938. However, the extension was never produced. In the 1953 renumbering, the state dropped the suffix and renumbered the bridge and its approaches to Route 13. During a storm in 1962, the bridge built in 1929 was rebuilt; the bridge was replaced in 1971 with a 291.01 feet long steel lift bridge. The bridge has remained intact since. Structurally, Route 13 was a rehabilitation on the bridge and its approaches in October 2004; the bridge construction was completed by Carr & Duff Inc. which had received the project in June of that year. The Department of Transportation and Governor James E. McGreevey forwarded $2.4 million to the company for construction. The entire route is in Ocean County. U. S.

Bay Head is situated on the Barnegat Peninsula known as Barnegat Bay Island, a long, narrow barrier island that separates Barnegat Bay from the Atlantic Ocean. Together with Mantoloking, Bay Head is considered part of the Jersey Shore's "Gold Coast". Bay Head was incorporated as a Borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on June 15, 1886, from portions of Brick Township, based on the results of a referendum held three days earlier; the community was supposed to have been named "Bayhead" after the Bayhead Land Company that developed the area in the 1870s. A railroad sign posted in the 1880s labeled the station as "Bay Head," and the name stuck when the borough was incorporated in 1886; the name comes from the town's location, at the "head" of Barnegat Bay.

New Jersey Route 37
Route 37 is a state highway located in Ocean County, New Jersey, United States. The route runs 13.43 mi from Lakehurst at a traffic circle with Route 70 to an interchange with Route 35 in Seaside Heights. A two– to six–lane divided highway its entire length, Route 37 serves as the major east–west route through the Toms River area as well as a main route to the Barnegat Peninsula, crossing the Barnegat Bay on the Thomas A. Mathis and J. Stanley Tunney Bridges; the route through Toms River Township is lined with many businesses and named Little League World Champions Boulevard in honor of Toms River East Little League's victory in the 1998 Little League World Series. Route 37 intersects many major roads in the Toms River area, including County Route 527, the Garden State Parkway/U. S. Route 9, Route 166, CR 549, CR 571; the route experiences congestion from both development in the area and from traffic bound for the barrier islands in the summer. Route 37 was first legislated in 1927 in two sections: one running from Trenton to White Horse along the current U.
S. Route 206 alignment that replaced part of Pre-1927 Route 2 and the other running from Lakehurst to Point Pleasant that replaced part of Pre-1927 Route 18 between Lakehurst and Toms River. In 1953, Route 37 was legislated along its current alignment, with the designation dropped on the Trenton–White Horse segment to avoid the concurrency with U. S. Route 206 and the Seaside Heights–Point Pleasant section becoming a realignment of Route 35. Route 37 was proposed in the 1960s as a freeway running from White Horse to Seaside Heights; this freeway proposal was altered to create Interstate 195, running from Trenton to Wall Township. Route 37 begins at the Lakehurst Circle traffic circle with Route 70 in Lakehurst, heading east first as an undivided two-lane road becoming a four–lane divided highway. Soon after beginning, the route crosses into Manchester Township, it intersects Commonwealth Boulevard, which provides access to the Leisure Village West-Pine Lake Park community, before crossing into Toms River Township.
Route 37 continues east with many intersections that feature jughandles and at the intersection with Industrial Way, the road widens to six lanes. Route 37 passes to the north of Holiday City - Silver Ridge Park, an age-restricted community which contributes to the large population of senior residents in the area; the route meets County Route 642 and County Route 527. After the intersection with County Route 527, the route crosses over the North Branch of the Toms River. Route 37 features a cloverleaf interchange with the Garden State Parkway/U. S. Route 9. Past the Garden State Parkway, the route crosses the former alignment of U. S. Route 9, Route 166. Past this intersection, Route 37 becomes a road lined with several businesses; the route intersects County Route 549 and County Route 38. County Route 627 intersects next and Route 37 runs along the border between Toms River to the north and Island Heights to the south. Route 37 meets the southern terminus of County Route 627 and enters Toms River Township again at the Gilford Avenue intersection.
Further east, the route intersects County Route 549 Spur/County Route 571. Route 37 crosses the Barnegat Bay on the Thomas A. Mathis and J. Stanley Tunney Bridges with the eastbound bridge featuring a drawbridge that allows ships to pass through while the westbound bridge is a higher-level span; the route continues onto Pelican Island in the Barnegat Bay, crossing into a small piece of Berkeley Township. Route 37 crosses over a part of the Barnegat Bay and heads onto the Barnegat Peninsula, where the route comes to its eastern terminus at an interchange with Route 35 on the border of Berkeley Township and Seaside Heights. At this interchange, access to Seaside Heights is provided by a ramp from northbound Route 35 a short distance past the ramp from eastbound Route 37, connecting to Sumner Avenue, while access from Seaside Heights to westbound Route 37 is provided by a direct ramp from Hamilton Avenue. Due to the area's vacationers, many of which come from New York and Northern New Jersey, Route 37 is congested with seasonal traffic in the summer on and around the Mathis and Tunney Bridges and at the Garden State Parkway interchange as heavy tourist traffic converges on the shore.
Additionally, the road sees congestion due to the area's rapid growth in commercial development. Prior to 1927, the route between present-day Route 70 in Lakehurst and present-day County Route 527 in Toms River was a part of Pre-1927 Route 18, legislated in 1923 to run from Camden to Toms River. In the 1927 New Jersey state highway renumbering, Route 37 was legislated to run from Route 27 and Route 30 in Trenton to Route 35 in Point Pleasant, passing through White Horse, Lakehurst, Toms River, Seaside Heights; the portion between Trenton and White Horse replaced part of Pre-1927 Route 2, while the portion between Lakehurst and Toms River replaced part of Pre-1927 Route 18. Following the 1927 renumbering, Route 37 existed in multiple separate sections: one running from the Trenton–Hamilton Township line to the White Horse Circle, the crossing of Gropp Lake in Hamilton Township, a 1⁄2-mile segment between Hamilton Township and Upper Freehold Township west of Allentown, a section of current CR 539 between Burlington Path Road in Upper Freehold and Hornerstown Road in Plumsted Township, one running from Route 40 in Lakehurst to Point Pleasant.
