Interlaken is a borough situated in the Jersey Shore region, within Monmouth County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. As of the 2020 United States census, the borough's population was 828,[9] an increase of 8 (+1.0%) from the 2010 census count of 820,[18][19] which in turn had reflected a decline of 80 (−8.9%) from the 900 counted in the 2000 census.[20]

Interlaken was authorized for prospective incorporation as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 11, 1922, from portions of Ocean Township, subject to approval by a majority of voters in the affected area. Voters approved the incorporation of Interlaken in a referendum held on May 3, 1922.[21][22]
