The Short Take

Holmdel Village At A Glance

Holmdel Village is a crossroads settlement that grew up where two early routes met in the 18th century, along today's Main Street (County Route 520). Gordon's Gazetteer of 1834 described the hamlet, then also called Baptisttown, as eight dwellings, two stores, a church and an academy. After Holmdel became a separate township in 1857, the village became its principal center, and by the late 1800s it had about 20 dwellings, a hotel, a steam saw mill, a carriage shop, a shoe shop, two stores, a post office and a school.
