message: The map shows the maritime municipal boundaries, but I noticed that some water in the Atlantic and in Raritan Bay are not shown to be part of any municipality.  Does this mean they are unincorporated waters: being part of Monmouth County, but not any municipality?  98.221.131.77 (talk) 10:46, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

message: Are you sure? Bush did recieve a higher percent of the vote in 2004, but then, if you look at the map, EVERY county in New Jersey swung toward the Republicans. That was from a 9/11 boost he recieved in the state.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.5.170.110 (talk) 23:13, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Monmouth trending Republican?

message: Currently says: Its name came from a suggestion from Colonel Lewis Morris. He suggested it be named after Monmouthshire, Wales. But the page List of counties in New Jersey says its name comes from "Rhode Island Monmouth Society", with a reference to Origin of New Jersey Placenames, M, which says " Rhode Island Monmouth Society, settlers", implying the first settlers were of this society. That reference also says "This publication was compiled by workers of the Federal Writers' Program of the Work Projects Administration in the State of New Jersey, and was sponsored by the New Jersey State Library Commission." Sounds pretty good, but what do I know? I'll just add a fact tag. Pfly (talk) 04:04, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

message: If Monmouth County shares a "border" with Staten Island by way of the Raritan Bay, then so, too, does it share a border with Brooklyn, Queens, and all of Long Island for that matter. With the exception of rivers, borders tend to be land based. The fact that there is no bridge between MoCo and S.I., as there is between Middlesex Co. and S.I., and Union Co. and S.I., only underscores this point.

replies: text: Monmouth County doesn't border "all of Long Island," because New Jersey state waters don't extend that far east in the Atlantic.  Monmouth County does have a maritime border with both Richmond County, NY (Borough of Staten Island), and Queens County, NY (Borough of Queens).  It doesn't border Kings County, NY (Borough of Brooklyn) because technically Queens and Staten Island share a maritime boundary.  If you're in Coney Island, Brooklyn and go south, you enter Queens waters before crossing the state line into Monmouth County, NJ. 98.221.131.77 (talk) 10:55, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

message: From the Monmouth county website:
Monmouth County was officially formed on March 7, 1683, by the General Assembly as one of the four original counties of the Province of East Jersey. "It was named, through the influence of Colonel Lewis Morris, after Monmouthshire, where his family had a vast estate."
From the following resource:

New Jersey State Archives:
Monmouth – Established 7 March 1683. In 1693, formally divided into Freehold, Middletown and Shrewsbury townships  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.35.51.11 (talk) 00:28, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

message: A chart has been added which lists the county's municipalities.  Next to the name of each municipality, an editor has added a number in parentheses (eg. "Aberdeen Township (50)").  Does anyone know why that number is there, or what it's counting?  Thanks. Magnolia677 (talk) 00:13, 22 November 2014 (UTC)
