About Oceanport:

Oceanport is a Borough in Monmouth County, New Jersey.  Oceanport was formed as a borough by an Act of the New Jersey Legislature on April 6, 1920, from portions of Eatontown Township. New Jersey Monthly magazine ranked Oceanport as its 4th best place to live in its 2008 rankings of the "Best Places To Live" in New Jersey. Oceanport can be separated into two sections. One is called Oceanport and the other Port-au-peck (a main road through the town is Port-au-peck Avenue). Although both range from middle class to upper-middle class, Port-au-peck is more heavily residential and has many more high end homes. There are several reasons for this. One is that it is a complete peninsula jutting into the Shrewsbury River. Because of this it has many more elegant waterfront homes. It is also very close to the communities of Little Silver, Fair Haven, Long Branch, Monmouth Beach, and Rumson. These towns and Port-au-peck form the boundaries of the Shrewsbury River. The famed Monmouth Park, a thoroughbred horse race track, was put in this small community in 1946 because of its prime location at the shore.
