Reply to comment by I_Am_Skipples in Happy birthday to Colts Neck. The Monmouth County township was incorporated as Atlantic Twp from portions of Freehold, Middletown, and Shrewsbury Twps on this date in 1847. Fun fact: Jon & Tracey Stewart opened a 45-acre animal sanctuary in Colts Neck for animals saved from slaughterhouses by rollotomasi07071

Colts Neck population in 2001: 10,384

Colts Neck population in 2002: 10,565

EDITED FOR CLARITY: I was also incorrect. Colts Neck lost five residents in 9/11. Red Bank lost two.

I stand corrected — your profile picture popped up on my watch and made this correction significantly more welcomed.

I was mistaking the Wikipedia fun fact for census data in my memory.

I don’t know if you were technically incorrect. I lived there during 9/11, and I think proportionally it was mentioned as having a higher ‘rate.’ I had thought it was a few more than 5, but I suppose some may have technically had a different residence officially. This was In terms of how many people died in terms of the towns population, and not the actual number or anything. I only say it because this wasn’t the first time I’ve heard this, so it must’ve been said somewhere.
