Navesink River
The Navesink River is an estuary, approximately 8 mi (12 km) long in Monmouth County, New Jersey, USA. It is surrounded by the communities of Middletown, Red Bank, Fair Haven and Rumson.
Known officially as the North Shrewsbury River and upstream of Red Bank as the Swimming River, it is formed southwest of Red Bank by the confluence of the Swimming River with several smaller streams. It extends ENE along the north side of Red Bank, connecting to the Shrewsbury River estuary at Rumson, approximately 1 mi (1.6 km) south of the entrance of the Shrewsbury River into Sandy Hook Bay near Highlands.
==History==
The area was originally populated by the Lenni Lenape Indians. In 1665, John Hance was one of the settlers who negotiated with the Navesink Indians of the Lenni Lenape Tribe to purchase the lands of this peninsula and the immediate surroundings through the Monmouth Patent.〔Borough of Rumson. Retrieved November 11, 2010.〕 Following the founding of Red Bank in 1736 (named after its situation on the "red banks" of the Navesink River),〔("Celebrating a Community's Revival" ). NJCooperator. Retrieved November 11, 2010.〕 the river was important for transportation from the Navesink River communities to New York City and was served by side-wheeler steamboats until the 1950s.
