Freehold Borough:
The Boss's Hometown
 Freehold Borough is the hole in the doughnut -- the hole is the downtown and surrounding area, landlocked by the "doughnut" of Freehold Township. The borough is a place where farmers and lawyers rub shoulders, as some have said, the congregating point for those practicing law in the county seat of Monmouth County and those from the now-vanishing farms outside of town. The borough is an eclectic blend of family owned businesses, bail bondmen's offices, outdoor cafes, ethnic restaurants and the Nestle factory, which still makes instant coffee and tea after more than 50 years. Bruce Sprinsteen calls it his hometown.
In addition to the daily ebb and flow of people into the downtown business area, Freehold Borough is also where the pulse of Monmouth County government can be taken. Every day, roughly 600 county workers come to their base in the borough. Another 480 state Superior Court and state probation department workers work here.
Wonderful restaurants, antique stores and shops line the Main Street. During the spring and summer all the homes are filled with wonderful gardens and flags lending to the old world charm of Freehold borough. Concerts, antique shows and classic car nights are all favorites in this town.
