The Short Take

Adelphia At A Glance

Adelphia is an unincorporated community in northern Howell Township, bordered by Colts Neck, Farmingdale and Freehold Township, with its own ZIP code, 07710. It began as a village called Blue Ball, was later called Turkey, and then took the name Adelphia, from the Greek word for "brotherhood." The old name lives on in Turkey Swamp Park in neighboring Freehold Township.
