Monmouth County is relatively young, economically speaking. Its development didn't begin in earnest until the early 1970s, when summer visitors began to move here year-round. Until then, the county was mostly summer resort communities flanked by farms and woods with villages scattered in between. Since then, the county has become one of the most desirable addresses in the nation. A wide variety of housing supports every income group; main streets compete with large regional malls and highway shopping centers; office/research investments have transformed the economy into a regional force, and entertainment and recreation opportunities meet growing demand.
