"Monmouth Beach started in 1668 as a farm developed by a Quaker named Eliakim Wardell, who eventually became the first sheriff of Monmouth County. Two centuries later, the area was made accessible to wealthy New Yorkers with the arrival of the Long Branch and Sea Shore Railroad that connected to the steamboat terminal at Sandy Hook to the south.... Among those who constructed mansions, which they called 'cottages,' were the wireless pioneer Guglielmo Marconi; the apple juice magnate Samuel Mott; a United States vice president, Garret A. Hobart; a founder of Wells Fargo, William G. Fargo; a candy manufacturer, William H. Heide, whose company made Jujyfruits; and the robber baron Jay Gould."
