Interlaken, New Jersey

Interlaken is a borough in Monmouth County, New Jersey, United States. As of the 2010 United States Census, the borough population was 820. Interlaken was formed as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 11, 1922, from portions of Ocean Township, based on the results of a referendum held on May 3, 1922. The area that is now Interlaken was purchased in1667 by Gavin Drummond from the Lenape Native Americans. It was later part of Ocean Township, which had seceded from ShrewsburyTownship in 1849 and included at the time present-day Eatontown,Neptune Township, Neptune City, Avon-by-the-Sea, Bradley Beach,Asbury Park, Allenhurst, Deal, Long Branch, West Long Branch, Loch Arbour, Monmouth Beach, Sea Bright and Oceanport, along with Interlaken itself. Dr. Francis Weld, a Boston physician, bought a 364-acre (1.47 km2) tract and named it Interlaken Farm,after Interlaken, a similar peninsula in Switzerland situatedbetween two lakes, that they had just visited.

Weld established the Interlaken Land Company in 1890 to turn his farm into a residential community with avenues named after English lakes andcross streets named after the islands in the Hebrides in the Irish Sea. While the initial effort did not succeed, the Stormfelz-Lovely-Neville Company was hired in 1905 to continue the building project, and the community began its growth. Interlaken was formed as a borough on March 11, 1922, based onthe results of a referendum held on May 3, 1922. The first Mayorand Council of Interlaken were seated on June 26, 1922.Interlaken remains entirely residential, as was originallyintended by its developers.
