Produktbeschreibung
Much like the building material of the same name, the township of Brick has a sturdy and reliable history. In 1850, when the New Jersey Legislature created Ocean County among a region of virgin woodland. The new township was named after its most prominent resident, Joseph W. Brick, the industrious and successful owner of Bergen Iron Works; as Brick's and other local industries expanded, more and more people began to call the town their home. Brick Township records these lives of these founders, as well as the events and places that helped them shape their community. By 1920, parts of the township had declared their independence, and the remaining parts of Brick began to evolve into a resort community. Brick continued to be an intimate but prosperous resort area into the 1950s, when the Garden State Parkway opened, and the subsequent residential and commercial development created dramatic growth in year-round residents. Brick Township captures scenes of life in Brick from 1850 to the 1950s and beyond--from the early European settlers to the suburbanites who now call Brick their home.
