Union Beach was formed as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 16, 1925, from portions of Raritan Township (now Hazlet), based on the results of a referendum held on April 16, 1925.[21] A 100-acre (40 ha) farm in the future borough was owned by the Poole family since the days of the American Revolutionary War. Following the development of the Central Railroad of New Jersey, the Poole Farm became the site of the Union Subdivision in 1908,[22] while an area that had been called East Point Beach Estates was renamed Union Beach by developer Charles Carr in 1920.[23]

The borough is part of the Bayshore Regional Strategic Plan, an effort by nine municipalities in northern Monmouth County to reinvigorate the area's economy by emphasizing the traditional downtowns, dense residential neighborhoods, maritime history, and the natural beauty of the Raritan Bayshore coastline.

Geography

According to the United States Census Bureau, the borough had a total area of 1.88 square miles (4.87 km2), including 1.78 square miles (4.61 km2) of land and 0.10 square miles (0.26 km2) of water (5.32%).[1][2]

Union Beach has undergone extensive restoration of its beach front, which offers a view of the New York City skyline and the Verazanno-Narrows Bridge.[24]

A monument to the victims of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, constructed of black stone and dedicated in June 2002, is positioned to allow visitors to see past the memorial towards the location where the World Trade Center towers were visible from the borough.[25][26]

Unincorporated communities, localities and place names within the borough include Lorrillard Beach, Natco, Union Gardens and Van Marters Corner.[27]

The borough borders the Monmouth County municipalities of Hazlet, Keansburg and Keyport.[28][29][30]

History

Hurricane Sandy

On October 28, 2012, at 4:00pm, the mayor issued a mandatory evacuation for the borough[31] in preparation for Hurricane Sandy — the second-costliest hurricane in United States history.[32] When the hurricane arrived, approximately one third of the borough's 6,200 residents had left.[33]

By the morning of October 29, of the estimated 2,143 households in the borough, approximately 200 homes and businesses were damaged,[35] 400 took on more than 6 feet (1.8 m) of water, and 62 were "completely missing". An additional 100 that had shifted off foundations and were no longer habitable.[36] The borough's police department borrowed several police cruisers from other municipalities such as Wilmington, NC and Clay County, Florida. Most cars were destroyed when flooding reached police headquarters.[37] Former residents from around the country mobilized and organized relief efforts: sending relief supplies; including advising and assisting public servants in acquiring replacements of lost emergency vehicles. In total, the borough lost 14 police cars, three ambulances and four fire trucks.[38] Madison Township and Wanaque each gave repurposed police cruisers fully decaled with Union Beach logos, as well as other relief.[39] Some local agencies sold old police cruisers for one dollar each or donated police cars, and donations of two cars each came from North Carolina and Florida. EMS and fire trucks were also donated from near and far.

The restaurant and waterfront tiki bar Jakeabob's Bay, one of the major employers in town,[40] was destroyed in the hurricane. The bar survived Hurricane Irene in 2011[41] and on the morning of October 28 the restaurant was boarded up to prevent damage from Hurricane Sandy. By morning, the building was completely destroyed. The storm surge completely washed through the building, pushing out tables, chairs, menus and displays. The restaurant's famous deck was found blocks inland in a resident's front yard.[42] The restaurant owner, Gigi Liaguno-Dorr, immediately organized the relief and rebuilding efforts for Union Beach.[43][44] The building was razed when neither of the insurance companies that covered the restaurant would pay out.[45] Five months later, in April, a new temporary restaurant opened in a rented space further inland in town called "Jakeabob's Off the Bay". The main focus of the new location was Union Beach and its destruction by Hurricane Sandy.[46] Liaguano-Dorr used the front doors from homes destroyed in the storm as tables and partitions in the restaurant. The walls were adorned with mementos donated by Union Beach residents and photographs from years past. After almost one year, Jakeabob's Off the Bay did not renew its lease with the temporary location. After months of fighting with the Federal Emergency Management Agency and its insurance company, there was not enough money to continue operating without loans or the insurance to be paid out.[47]

Union Beach Memorial School, the borough's only school, was inundated with floodwaters and debris when the storm surge and extreme high tide swept through the borough.[48][49] "It was a disaster. There was just muck and mud everywhere, mulch all over the building,"[50] principal Brian Walsh said in an interview. Hundreds of library books and teaching materials were destroyed along with thousands of dollars worth of instruments. Music teacher Marilouise Metz said she lost decades worth of memorabilia including pictures, photos, newspaper clippings.[51] After several months of emergency repairs by volunteers, including students and teachers, the renovations including new floors, walls, desks and murals painted by teachers, students and volunteers were finished prior to the end of the school year. The school had been used as an evacuation center but began taking on water as the storm raged.[52]

A Mayor is elected directly by the voters to a four-year term of office. The Borough Council is comprised of six members elected to serve three-year terms on a staggered basis, with two seats coming up for election each year in a three-year cycle.[3] The Borough form of government used by Union Beach is a "weak mayor / strong council" government in which council members act as the legislative body with the mayor presiding at meetings and voting only in the event of a tie. The mayor can veto ordinances subject to an override by a two-thirds majority vote of the council. The mayor makes committee and liaison assignments for council members, and most appointments are made by the mayor with the advice and consent of the council.[61][62]
