Monmouth County will celebrate not only the birth of the greatest nation in the world, but the significant role our county played in the fight for independence.
Monmouth County was truly a battleground in the cause of freedom, but in the almost 250 years since, Monmouth County has grown and flourished to be the ideal place to live, work and play.
The year 2026 may seem like a long way off, but there is excitement to embark on the journey toward this momentous event, as we look back on the people, places, and events that have carved Monmouth County’s history over the past 250 years, and as we plan our celebrations for the birth of the greatest nation on Earth!
In recent weeks, the MonmouthNJ250 Committee hosted a meeting with representatives from Monmouth County municipalities. The purpose of the meeting was to share the county’s vision, strategy and planning to prepare for America’s upcoming 250th birthday in 2026 and ways that each municipality can participate in this once-in-a-lifetime celebration like they did during America’s Bicentennial celebration in 1976.
“Crucial to our work is sharing updates, ideas and information with the municipal governments throughout the county,” said MonmouthNJ 250 Committee Chair, Monmouth County Clerk Christine G. Hanlon. “Like America’s Bicentennial celebration in 1976, we encourage local municipalities to participate in the celebration by establishing their own committees to recognize this historic milestone and to develop and implement celebrations for America’s 250th.”
“It was great to see everyone united in one space, eagerly discussing the many exciting events and plans for commemorating America's upcoming 250th birthday,” said MonmouthNJ 250 Committee Co-Chair, Monmouth County Commissioner Director Thomas A. Arnone. “Planning for a celebration like this takes a great deal of time, and we are working hard to create memorable experiences that honor Monmouth County’s revolutionary history and its significance to the birth of our great nation."
