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 Local historian Helen Henderson has collected over 180 historic photographs of the area--many rare and previously unpublished--to create a comprehensive and insightful look back at its development from 1890 to the 1960s.
