On the banks of its namesake river, the community of Toms River was first settled in the early 1700s by loggers drawn to the dense forests by the side of the water. During the Revolution, the growing village was a constant thorn in the side of the British, and was attacked and borned in 1783. The arrival of the railroad in the late 1800s ushered in an age of expansion that continues to this day.

Autorenporträt
The Publications Committee of the Ocean County Historical Society has gathered a treasure trove of information and images--many of them rare and previously unpublished--to create this delightful tribute to Toms River. Many of the photographs deal with life on the river; for while the world around it has changed, the river has remained a constant source of natural beauty and recreation. Allow Along the Toms River to lead you back into the past: it is a journey worth making, and one that you will never forget.
