Port-au-peck is an unincorporated community located within Oceanport in Monmouth County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey.[2][3][4] The name Port-Au-Peck comes from the Lenape name Pootapeck. The land was "sold" to English interests in 1670; however, it is unclear how fair this land transfer was or if the local residents were aware they were giving away their hunting and fishing rights in the transfer.[5]
