The Short Take

Oakhurst At A Glance

Oakhurst sits in the northeast part of Ocean Township. The census area runs from Route 35 east to Monmouth Road and from West Park Avenue south to Deal Road, and the ocean at Elberon is less than 2 miles east. It has its own ZIP code, 07755.

It was the township's earliest village, once called Oceanville, with a mill and a tavern working by the early 1800s. A Newark newspaper later gave away small lots east of Whalepond Brook as subscription bonuses, and those lots became summer cottages and then year-round homes.

Known For The Township Hub

Town hall is at 399 Monmouth Rd, and Joe Palaia Park, on the former AT&T Deal Test Site where early radio research was done, has trails, a disc golf course, ball fields and a playground. The 1700s Eden Woolley House now holds the township's historical museum.
