FACTS ABOUT OCEAN COUNTY
NJ
Ocean County is a county located along the Jersey
Shore in the U.S. state of New Jersey. Its county
seat is Toms River[1], which, like the county
itself, has been one of the fastest growing areas
of the state since the 1990s. As of the United
States 2000 Census, the population was 510,916.
The 2007 Census estimate for the county was approximately
558,531, making Ocean County the fastest growing
in the state of New Jersey. Ocean County was established
in 1850 from portions of Monmouth County except
for Little Egg Harbor Township which seceded from
Burlington County in 1891.
Ocean County is located
50 miles (80 km) east of Philadelphia, PA, 70 miles
(110 km) south of New York, NY and 25 miles (40
km) north of Atlantic City, NJ, making it a prime
destination for residents of these cities during
the summer. As with the entire Jersey Shore, summer
traffic routinely clogs local roadways throughout
the season.
While
officially designated as part of the New York Metropolitan
Area, Ocean County is strongly affiliated with the
Delaware Valley. Ocean County, while theoretically
in the New York Metro Area, is actually in the Southern
part of New Jersey and is home many tourist attractions
frequently visited by Delaware Valley residents.
These attractions include a myriad of beaches such
as Long Beach Island and Seaside Heights, along
with resorts such as Island Beach State Park and
Six Flags Great Adventure. It should also be noted
that the Jersey Shore, of which Ocean County is
a central part, is a major destination for beach
tourism for Delaware Valley residents, as there
are no other beaches closer than those of the Jersey
Shore. *(excerpt from Wikipedia)
