Fair Haven, New Jersey
Fair Haven is a borough in Monmouth County, New Jersey, along the Navesink River. As of the 2010 United States Census, the borough population was 6,121. Fair Haven was incorporated as a borough by an Act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 28, 1912, from portions of Shrewsbury Township, based on the results of a referendum held on April 23, 1912. Portions of the borough were exchanged with Red Bank on June 17, 1957.Fair Haven’s first permanent settlement dates to a structure built in 1816 at the Navesink River near today’s Fair Haven Road.By the mid-19th century, steamboats stopped at “Chandler’s Dock” on a route between Red Bank and New York City, bringing visitors to the area and local oysters to the city.Fair Haven has an annual Fireman’s Fair during the last weekend of summer including Labor Day weekend which attracts a couple of thousand people, including noted musicians Bruce Springsteen and Bon Jovi. The Fair Haven Fireman’s Fair also has a Fireman’s night and invites all firefighters from any other firehouse to come and join in the festivities. The Fireman’s Fair used to raffle off a car each year, but the taxes to be paid on the vehicle deterred people from participating. They have a large 50/50 raffle where winnings sometimes achieve in the tens of thousands of dollars. The Outback is a favorite concession stand in the back of the fair grounds. The fair is on the Fire Company grounds. The Fire Truck Ride is also very popular.
