Description

This fascinating visual history features more than 200 carefully selected photographs that together document the people, places, and events that have defined the city of Toms River and the encompassing area. Situated at the banks of the river of the similar name, Toms River used to be first settled within the early 1700s by loggers drawn to the dense forests at the river’s banks. Right through the American Revolution, the village used to be a constant thorn within the side of the British, and it used to be attacked and burned to the bottom in 1783. The arrival of the railroads within the late 1800s ushered in a new age of expansion which, spurred on by the construction of the Garden State Parkway within the decade after World War II, continues to these days.
