Neptune City is a borough in Monmouth County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. As of the 2020 United States census, the borough's population was 4,626,[10] a decrease of 244 (−5.0%) from the 2010 census count of 4,869,[19][20] which in turn reflected a decline of 349 (−6.7%) from the 5,218 counted in the 2000 census.[21][22]
The Borough of Neptune City was incorporated on October 4, 1881, based on a referendum held on March 19, 1881. The boundaries included all of present-day Neptune City, along with what is now Avon-by-the-Sea and the southern portion of Bradley Beach. On March 23, 1900, a bill approved in the New Jersey Legislature created the Borough of Avon-by-the-Sea. On March 13, 1907, the eastern portion of Neptune City was annexed to the Borough of Bradley Beach.[23] The borough was named for Neptune, the Roman water deity, and its location on the Atlantic Ocean.[24][25]
The earliest borough hall was erected in 1902 at the northwest corner of Evergreen Avenue and Railroad Avenue (now Memorial Drive).
