Map of Asbury Park in Monmouth County, New Jersey, along the Atlantic Ocean (also see: full-state map).
Asbury Park is a town/city in Monmouth County, New Jersey, United States, positioned on the Jersey Shore and part of the New York City Metropolitan Area.
It was ranked the sixth-best beach in New Jersey in the 2008 Top 10 Beaches Contest sponsored by the New Jersey Marine Sciences Consortium. Asbury Park was originally incorporated as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 26, 1874, from portions of Ocean Township.
Asbury Park was incorporated as a city, its current type of government, as of March 25, 1897. A seaside community, Asbury Park is positioned on New Jersey's central coast.
Bradley was active in the evolution of much of the city's infrastructure, and despite his preference for gas light, he allowed the Atlantic Coast Electric Company (precursor to today's Jersey Central Power & Light Co.) to offer electric service. Along the waterfront Bradley installed the Asbury Park Boardwalk, an orchestra pavilion, enhance changing rooms and a pier at the south end of that boardwalk.
In 1888, Ernest Schnitzler assembled the Palace Merry-Go-Round on the southwest corner of Lake Avenue and Kingsley Street, the cornerstone of what would turn into the Palace Amusements complex; other attractions followed. During these early decades in Asbury Park, a number of grand hotels were built, including the Plaza Hotel. Uriah White, an Asbury Park pioneer, installed the first artesian well water system. As many as 600,000 citizens a year vacationed in Asbury Park amid the summer season in the early years, riding the New York and Long Branch Railroad from New York City and Philadelphia to appreciate the mile-and-a-quarter stretch of oceanfront Asbury Park. By 1912, The New York Times estimated that the summer populace could reach 200,000. At the same time, Asbury Park launched a first-class education and athletic program with the assembly of a state-of-the-art high school overlooking Deal Lake.
On September 8, 1934, the wreck of the cruise ship SS Morro Castle, which caught on fire and burned, beached itself near the town/city just yards away from the Asbury Park Convention Hall; the town/city capitalized on the event, turning the wreck into a tourist attraction. At the same time, the SEC also inquired about rental rates on the beach front and why the mayor reduced the lease of a bathhouse from $85,000 to $40,000, among many other discrepancies that could have offset debt. The interests of Asbury Park's bond investors led Senator Frank Durand (Monmouth County) to add a last-minute "Beach Commission" amendment to a municipal debt bill in the New Jersey legislature.
When the bill became law, it ceded control of the Asbury Park beach to Governor Harold Hoffman and a governor's commission. The town/city of Asbury Park sued to restore control of the beach to the municipal council, but the New Jersey Court of Errors and Appeals (until 1947, the state's highest court) upheld the validity of the law in 1937. When Durand pressed New Jersey's council to extend the state's control of Asbury Park's beach in 1938, the lower home staged a walk out and the Senate soon adjourned, a disruption that also inhibited a vote for funding New Jerey's participation in the 1939 New York World's Fair. In December 1938, the court returned control of the beach to the municipal council under the proviso that a bond repayment agreement was created; Asbury Park was the only beach in New Jersey affected by the Beach Commission law. In 1943, the New York Yankees held their spring training in Asbury Park freshwater Florida. This was because rail transport had to be conserved amid the war, and Major League Baseball's Spring Training was limited to an region east of the Mississippi River and north of the Ohio River. With the opening of the Garden State Parkway in 1947, Asbury Park saw the travel market change as severaler vacationers took trains to the seashore. With the above-mentioned change in the travel market, prompted by the opening of the Garden State Parkway in 1947 and the opening of Monmouth Mall 10 miles (16 km) away in Eatontown in 1960, Asbury Park's downtown became less of an attraction to shoppers.
Moreover, the opening of Six Flags Great Adventure (on July 1, 1974), a combination infamous park and drive-through safari positioned on a lake in Jackson Township and close to a New Jersey Turnpike exit proved to be stiff competition for a mile-long stretch of aging boardwalk amusements. Riots that broke out in the town/city on July 4, 1970, resulted in the destruction of aging buildings along Springwood Avenue, one of three chief east-west corridors into Asbury Park and the central shopping and entertainment precinct for those living in the city's southwest quadrant. Many of those town/city blocks have yet to be redeveloped into the 21st century. Former Howard Johnson's renovated and reopened in summer 2007 as Salt Water Beach Cafe on the boardwalk in Asbury Park From 2002 forward , the rest of Asbury Park has been in the midst of a cultural, political, and economic revival, led by a burgeoning trade of small-town and nationwide artists. Its dilapidated downtown precinct is undergoing revitalization while most of the nearly empty blocks that overlook the beach and boardwalk are slated for massive ongoing standard .
