Description

In 1850, the New Jersey Legislature created Ocean County and Brick Township, naming it for Joseph W. Brick, the industrious owner of Bergen Iron Works. Firstly of the twentieth century, Brick Township was once a rural community. Up until the 1920s, postcards of the township were primarily architectural images. Brick Township accommodates up to date images of familiar names and places: Emma Havens Young, for whom an elementary school has been named; the very talked-about Red Lion Tavern, later known as the Red Lion Inn; the progression of 4 bridges crossing Barnegat Bay to the peninsula area of Brick Township; and Traders Cove Marina because it looked within the 1950s when it was once known as Pleasure Cove Marina. There are postcards from summer camps, such as Camp NEJECHO and Metedeconk Summer Camp, and from summer resorts, such as Breton Woods, Riviera Beach, and Normandy Beach.
