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and previously unpublished--to create a comprehensive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.
