The Quick Take

Cedar Run At A Glance

Cedar Run is one of the four historic settlements Stafford Township names, with Manahawkin, Mayetta and Warren Grove. A federal Historic American Buildings Survey describes Cedar Run and Mayetta as early mill towns that grew up around Cedar Creek in the 18th century, south of Manahawkin on Route 9. In the 1870s, when a building boom hit Long Beach Island, the villages supplied lumber and other services.

Known For Cedar Run Dock Road

Cedar Run Dock Road curves through the marshes of the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge out to the bay; the federal survey found it still resembles the landscape of 19th-century fishermen.
