| Publisher Description: Shrewsbury, one of New Jersey s oldest settlements, has been a separate borough only since 1926. Since then, a modern town has developed around a core of historic and exclusive estates. This second volume of Shrewsbury s past takes readers on an engaging historical journey while tracing the community s development. The emerging businesses that helped turn a quiet Broad Street into a modern highway stretch are linked to that stem s rural past. The construction of buildings during the 1970s such as the Red Cross Building and the Shrewsbury State Bank helped transform Shrewsbury into a mixture of commercial and residential properties. Personalities that gave character to the town are presented from the recent and distant past." |
