Strathmore is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) within Aberdeen Township, in Monmouth County, New Jersey, United States.[9][10] At the 2020 census, the CDP's population was 7,225.[3]
Strathmore was built starting in the early 1960s by Levitt & Sons, marketed as a higher-end version of the Levittown communities that the firm was known for.[11][12] The 2,000 new homes in the development led to a jump in the township's population of 10,000 over the decade, a jump of more than 140%.[13][14]

"The community originally known as Strathmore at Matawan was developed starting in 1961 by Levitt & Sons, the firm best known for its much larger Levittown community on Long Island, developed beginning in 1947 largely to provide low-cost housing for the young families of veterans returning from World War II. Unlike the unabashedly working-class nature of Levittown, Strathmore was more aspirational, taking its name from Levitt's more upscale, Strathmore subdivisions built before the war."

Originally known as Strathmore-at-Matawan, the approximately 2,000 houses that Levitt erected, beginning in 1964, more than doubled the population of what was then called Matawan Township. In 1977, voters changed the municipality’s name to Aberdeen."
