The Year was 1869, and a group of spiritual lay leaders assembled as The Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association to form and incorporate the town of Ocean Grove. Now New Jersey's finest year-round family seashore resort, this one square mile of natural beauty has welcomed and delighted vacationers, including U.S. presidents, for over a century. On Ocean Grove's tree-lined streets is the largest assemblage of authentic Victorian architecture in the nation. In 1976, the town had the honor of being entered in the National Register of Historic Places and in 1977, the New Jersey State Register of Historic Places.

Days and nights at the Grove are filled with arts and craft shows, our annual Giant Flea Markets in June and September, and a host of other exciting events. A casual stroll along Main Avenue and the streets leading to the Great Auditorium offers the rich reminders of Victorian life, as gracious shopkeepers welcome browsers in the many gift and antique stores. There are special Theme Parades where history unfolds itself, and a host of year-round cultural events. A calendar of exciting special events is available at the tourism office. Call 800-388-4768 for more information.
