Brielle is a borough located in southern Monmouth County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey, along the Manasquan River. As of the 2020 United States census, the borough's population was 4,982,[10] its highest decennial count ever and an increase of 208 (+4.4%) from the 2010 census count of 4,774,[19][20] which in turn reflected a decline of 119 (−2.4%) from the 4,893 counted in the 2000 census.[21]
