Around Matawan and Aberdeen

Called New Aberdeen by early settlers and later
known as Middletown Point, the area covered
today by the communities of Matawan Borough,
Aberdeen Township, Cliffwood, and Freneau has a rich
heritage. Local historian Helen Henderson has collected
over 180 historic photographs of the area--many rare
and previously unpublished--to create a comprehensive
and insightful look back at its development from 1890
to the 1960s.
