This week includes:   The area today that is known as West Long Branch was historically included in four (4) successive township governments before achieving independence in 1904.  Originally part of Shrewsbury Township, it was in the section that was broken off in 1849 to become Ocean Township.  It was in the short-lived Lincoln Township in 1867 and was part of Eatontown Township when it broke off in 1873.  It has also had a number of names, including: 1815, it was named Hoppertown, after New Yorker John Hopper, who purchased the colonial inn; By 1865 it was known as Mechanicsville, because of the large number of residents who practiced that trade; the name was switched to Branchburg to avoid confusion with another New Jersey town also known as Mechanicsville. More.
