History

Legend has it that the borough's name is derived from early settlers who bought the piece of land now known as Rumson from the Native Americans for some rum. But as far back as 1663, long before the area was officially named Rumson, Native Americans called it “Navarumsunk”. Over the years it has been shortened to “Rumson”. In 1907, Rumson was officially incorporated as a borough. Other names Rumson has been known by include Black Point, Port Washington, and Oceanic.[13]

Rumson was purchased by English settlers in pieces. The first purchase is dated January 25, 1665, and it included parts of Middletown. The rest of the area was purchased April 7, 1665 and June 5, 1665.

Rumson is known for its many sprawling turn-of-the-century estates located along the shores of the Navesink and Shrewsbury rivers and along historic Rumson Road, which serves as one of Rumson's main thoroughfares. Rumson's many old estates were built as summer homes for wealthy New York bankers and industrialists. The oldest of Rumson's homes was the Tredwell House, named after a family that summered here for almost 100 years. The oldest part of the house being from 1670 once occupied 700 acres (2.8 km2); it was the second oldest building in Monmouth County as of June 2006, when it was destroyed by fire.[14]

In the 19th century Rumson's summer residents enjoyed many activities, such as swimming and boating in the adjacent Navesink River and the Atlantic Ocean, or taking a wagon ride. In winter, residents used the river for ice boating.

Originally a summer colony for wealthy New Yorkers, Rumson is today an upscale suburb of New York. Many of Rumson's residents work in the financial services industry and commute to Wall Street on the high-speed ferry that leaves from nearby Atlantic Highlands. The ferry ride is 35 minutes to the foot of Wall Street or slightly less than an hour to Midtown Manhattan. Transportation to New York is also available via New Jersey Transit train service from Middletown or Red Bank.
