Fair-Haven is a Borough of Monmouth County located along the scenic Navesink River, between the towns of Red Bank and Rumson. It is approximately an hour from New York City. The unique character of this small town is rooted in its heritage as a small New England fishing village of another era. Fair Haven's history of days gone by is evident in the gracious old houses with charming picket fences, and a downtown historic district that is filled with specialty shops, restaurants and boutiques. The town's first permanent dwelling was built in 1816 along the riverbank near the foot of what is now Fair Haven Road. The river provided an economic base for the growing community, and by 1850, steamboats made regular stops here as they transported oysters and other river harvest to the city. Many homes were constructed in the mid 19th century along the road leading to Chandler's Dock (now called Fair Haven Road.) This street became the heart of town and in recognition of the many 19th century structures still found there, it has become popularly known as the "Old Village" and is contained in the Historic District. The Navesink River is approximately 8 miles long and is known as the "Swimming River" upstream of the community of Red Bank. Other attractions in the area include the Sandy Hook National Seashore and Lighthouse, the oldest original operating lighthouse in the country. This area along the Navesink Coast is one of the most affluent and expensive areas in New Jersey, and the East Coast, and has long been an area of "old money."
