Brick is located in Ocean County, along the New Jersey Atlantic Shore. Once a sleepy community of beachfront cottages, Brick Township is now a thriving year-round residential community. It has been ranked "fourth safest city in America 2005" (with a population over 75,000) by Morgan Quitno Press. Brick Township was first settled around 1750 and was named for Joseph W. Brick, one of the areas' most prominent citizens. For most of its' early history, Brick was a fishing and agricultural center, but in the early 1900s, the whole New Jersey Shore was being developed as a resort area, and as a result, the main economy in Brick shifted to tourism. Attractions in town include the Havens Homestead Museum, which contains room settings of a 19th century farmhouse and inn and exhibits of local artifacts. Brick Township also has three pristine beaches that offer swimming, surfing, fishing, boating, kayaking and picnicking. Windward Beach, on the Metedeconk River, has a fishing pier, picnic areas, and playground, horseshoe pits and numerous other activities. The town has become a shopping magnate for northern Ocean County with all kinds of restaurants, family stores and popular chain stores, as well. Brick enjoys a convenient location right on the Garden State Parkway that is near all of the great attractions of Ocean County, with easy access to the other shore towns such as Point Pleasant and Bay Head. Atlantic City is a little over an hour to the south.
