About Ocean Grove, New Jersey

Ocean Grove is a community of 3,057 people in Neptune Township, Monmouth County, on the Atlantic shore between Asbury Park and Bradley Beach. In 1867 the Rev. William B. Osborn, a Methodist preacher, spent a week at an outdoor holiness camp meeting in Vineland. He then searched the Jersey Shore for a shaded spot without mosquitoes and found one on the land between two ponds, Long Pond and Goose Pond, which are now called Wesley Lake and Fletcher Lake. Only four people lived there.

On July 31, 1869, Osborn, the Rev. Ellwood H. Stokes and a group of ministers and friends camped at what is now Founders Park. They held a prayer service by candlelight and promised to build a lasting Christian camp meeting town called Ocean Grove, and about twenty tents went up that summer. On March 3, 1870, the state chartered the Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association, whose 26 trustees, 13 ministers and 13 lay people, could buy and hold one square mile. The land was cut into lots 30 by 60 feet and leased for 99 years, and residents gave up alcohol, tobacco, cards, dancing, novels and chewing gum.

“Visitors would travel miles to bask in the Victorian seaside splendor and to attend engaging, extroverted religious ceremonies. Millions of people, tourists and pilgrims both, made the trip to Ocean Grove every summer.”

  • A president on foot, 1875In 1875 President Ulysses S. Grant rode up in a carriage on a Sunday and found the town's gates chained shut. He tied up his horses outside and walked half a mile over sandy streets to his sister's home on Wesley Lake. He went on from there to the outdoor auditorium. Grant later made his last public appearance in Ocean Grove.
  • The Great Auditorium of 1894After 1875 the New York and Long Branch Railroad brought crowds, and in 1877 alone the Ocean Grove-Asbury Park station sold 710,000 tickets. A third, larger auditorium rose in 1880. When that one was outgrown, the wooden Great Auditorium was finished in 1894, seating up to 10,000. Its front was extended in 1908 for the Hope-Jones organ, and Leonard Bernstein compared it to Carnegie Hall. Cushioned seats later cut its capacity to 6,250.
  • Summers in a tentOcean Grove once had 660 tents leased or owned on lots across town. Today 114 of them ring the Great Auditorium, and families still live in them from May to September, as campers have done since 1869.
  • The Beersheba wellThe founders drove nine wells in 1870 for fresh water. The first was named Beersheba, after the ancient well of the patriarchs Abraham and Isaac. A gazebo was built over it in 1881, and it was finally tied into the town water system in 1911. The well and its gazebo are still there.
  • Quiet Sundays until 1981For over a century the Camp Meeting Association kept horses, wagons and later cars off the streets on Sundays. The Legislature made Ocean Grove a borough on April 5, 1920, but a state court ruled it unconstitutional on May 12, 1921, and it was dissolved on June 16, 1921. In 1981 a newspaper deliverer won a lawsuit that ended the Sunday driving ban and the association's police force. In 2025 the state ordered its beach open seven days a week.
