NEPTUNE AND SHARK RIVER HILLS (NJ) (Images of America)

Description

Neptune and Shark River Hills are New Jersey towns that grew from two incredibly different yet distinctly American traditions. Neptune is the child of traditional agrarian roots, developing from a patchwork of early 1800’s farmsteads into an urbanized shore hub intersected by major highways. Shark River Hills was developed over a century later; it was entrepreneurial America that sparked its development as a community.
