Freehold, New Jersey
If you ever heard the song “My Hometown” by Bruce Springsteen, you might wonder, where did these events take place? It’s Freehold, New Jersey – the town where he grew up, the town that inspired much of the small-town America imagery of his lyrics. However, the history of Freehold predates Bruce Springsteen by roughly 300 years. First settled in 1650, Freehold is one of the original townships of Monmouth County.
