The Short Take

Monmouth Hills At A Glance

Monmouth Hills is a hillside section of Middletown Township by the Highlands border. Water Witch Park was conceived in 1895 to include Monmouth Hills and the land between Navesink Avenue (today's Route 36) and Sandy Hook Bay. The Monmouth Hills portion was established by the Water Witch Club, a private summer club organized by New York businessmen and architects led by Ferdinand Fish. It is one of the township's five historic districts.
