Overview
Overview
In the 18th century, Locust was a fishing and farming village. Oysters found in the Navesink River were considered a great delicacy. After the Civil War, Locust transformed into an area where well off New Yorkers spent their summers. The area consists of mostly medium-to-large sized houses throughout the hilly terrain of this part of the township. The Oceanic Bridge over the Navesink River, constructed in 1939, connects Locust with Rumson to the south.
