Red Bank is a borough in Monmouth County, New Jersey, incorporated in 1908. As of the 2010 United States Census, the borough had a population of 12,206.[4]

Red Bank was originally formed as a town on March 17, 1870, from portions of Shrewsbury Township. On February 14, 1879, Red Bank became Shrewsbury City, a portion of Shrewsbury Township, but this only lasted until May 15, 1879, when Red Bank regained its independence. On March 10, 1908, Red Bank was formed as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature and was set off from Shrewsbury Township.[8]

[edit] History

Originally part of "Shrewsbury Towne", Red Bank was named in 1736, "when Thomas Morford sold Joseph French 'a lot of over three acres [12,000 m2] on the west side of the highway that goes to the red bank.' Borough of Red Bank, History, supra. Red Bank was settled in the 17th century, but was not populous until approximately 1809. By 1844, Red Bank had become a commercial center, focused on textiles, fur, tanning, and manufacturing goods for sale in Manhattan. With the dredging of the Navesink River, about 1845, Red Bank became a port from which steamboats transported commuters to Manhattan. Red Bank grew in size as a result of this and the laying of rails in the town by the Raritan and Delaware Bay Railroad, about 1860.

Red Bank is connected by rail to other urban centers.

During the 20th century, Red Bank was a strong cultural, economic, and political center in Monmouth County, until it was hindered by the economic recession that began in 1987.

New office building construction on West Front Street

During this time, Red Bank's economy, based largely on retail commerce, was in decline, due to a real estate scandal, leading local pundits and urban planners to refer to the town as "Dead Bank". Beginning in approximately 1991, under the New Jersey Development and Redevelopment Law, the town authorized the creation of an organization to manage redevelopment in what was designated a Special Improvement District. This organization is known as the Red Bank RiverCenter. RiverCenter retains authority over the management and redevelopment of an agreed-upon "downtown business district".

The downtown district includes Broad Street from the post office to Marine Park and from Maple Avenue to one block east of Broad Street. The district that was originally proposed was much larger. It originally included the commercial areas west of Maple Avenue, including the antique buildings, The Galleria, and Shrewsbury Avenue. However, some property owners in this area were opposed to the idea because they did not want to pay the assessment. Plans for the larger district advanced but opposition became more rigorous. Therefore the proposed district was amended to exclude those who were opposed, and the district that was adopted stops at Maple Avenue.

Up to 7,000 people attend the shows annually.[24]

[edit] Arts and culture

The Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank

Red Bank is a noted social and commercial destination, filled with boutiques, designer clothing and home stores, parks, and restaurants. Many events, such as the Kaboom fireworks on July 3, occur throughout the summer.

The town is also considered to be a center of artistic activity,[25] and is home to the Monmouth County Arts Council[26] as well as several art and photography galleries.[27] The Count Basie Theatre hosts nationally-known performers, including Kevin Smith, David Sedaris, Tracy Morgan, Bill Cosby, Bob Newhart, Foreigner, Andy Williams, Brian Setzer, B.B. King, and others. The Count Basie Theatre is also home to Phoenix Productions, a non-profit community theatre who puts on large scale musicals four times a year. The Two River Theater Company opened a large performance space on April 30, 2005, called the Two River Theater. Bruce Springsteen filmed his VH-1 Storytellers special at the Two River Theatre. The Marion Huber Theater, also operated by the Two River Theater Company, is also in Red Bank.

There have been several annual festivals held in Red Bank. See, e.g., Red Bank International Film Festival.

In 1998, the Red Bank Armory was converted to an ice rink and is home to youth hockey team Red Bank Generals.

[edit] Events

Whenever the conditions are right, ice boats appear on the Navesink.

There is an annual fireworks display (called "KaBoom! Fireworks on the Navesink") held on July 3 that is popular with those residing in the Metropolitan New York area. Each summer, Red Bank hosts the Red Bank Jazz & Blues Festival in partnership with the Jersey Shore Jazz & Blues Society. "First Night", a New Year's Eve arts and entertainment festival, is a Red Bank event designed to provide an alternative to alcohol-related events.

Boating, sculling, sailing, and fishing are popular outdoor activities in Red Bank; in the winter, ice boats sail on the frozen Navesink. The Monmouth Boat Club, Marine Park, and the slips of the Molly Pitcher Inn provide access to the Navesink and, from there, the Atlantic Ocean.

[edit] Popular culture

Filmmaker Kevin Smith lived in Red Bank while working as an up-and-coming director. His films Chasing Amy, Dogma, and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back partly took place in the town, primarily on Broad Street.

Smith's production company, View Askew Productions, occupies a building on Broad Street in Red Bank. In addition, Smith opened a comic shop/novelty store, "Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash", located at 35 Broad Street, directly across the street from Jack's Music Shoppe, which was a location in Chasing Amy. A scene in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, was filmed in the store, but for the film, the sign was temporarily removed and replaced with a sign that read "Brodie's Secret Stash", due to the fact that the character Brodie owned the store in the movie. That sign now hangs inside the store on display, along with other View Askew paraphernalia, including the "Buddy Christ". Regular actors from his film series work and/or make appearances in the store, as many of his fans travel from all across the country to frequent it and buy film-related merchandise.

Smith and View Askew host the annual Vulgarthon film marathon in various theaters around Red Bank.

Most of Smith's View Askewniverse movies also make reference to nearby Leonardo as well as Asbury Park, another community which is famous for being artistic in nature.

Smith's 1999 film Dogma had scenes set in Red Bank that were filmed in other locations.[28]

Kevin Smith has been known to appear, alongside other actors, inside his comic store. On announced dates, crowds of fans have been known to line the streets of Red Bank for blocks, hoping to meet Smith.[29]

The popular Adult Swim cartoon Aqua Teen Hunger Force shown on the Cartoon Network makes reference to an address at "612 Wharf Avenue" in the episode "MC P. Pants". The address is an actual one, located in Red Bank. This stands to reason since the show is set in an unnamed locale on the New Jersey shore.

An early skit on the classic PBS children's series The Electric Company featured a game show whose winner would be "whisked to beautiful Red Bank, New Jersey" as a prize (illustrated with a still photograph).

The George Sheehan Classic began in 1981 as the Asbury Park 10K Classic and quickly became one of the major road running events on the national calendar. The race moved to Red Bank in 1994 and was renamed to honor the memory of Dr. George A. Sheehan, the prominent author, philosopher and area physician. "The Doc" has been called the "father of the running boom" in the United States. The Classic was named one of the Top 100 Road Races by Runner's World magazine, and the Best Memorial Race in New Jersey by The New York Times. Nearly 2,500 athletes participated in the 2006 Sheehan Classic.

Several tunes composed and/or made famous by Red Bank resident Count Basie name-check the town in their title, including "Red Bank Boogie" and "The Kid from Red Bank".

In the essay "Memoirs of a Drudge" (The New Yorker, October 3, 1942), humorist James Thurber recalls being sent to Red Bank by his newspaper's city editor on a tip that "Violets (are) growing in the snow over in Red Bank." Putting in a telephone call to that town's Chief of Police in advance, Thurber is told by a desk sergeant, "Ain't no violence over here," and nothing more.

[edit] Business

Aerial view of Red Bank

Red Bank is increasingly becoming a high-end shopping mecca, to the dismay of many local residents. Broad Street is lined with luxury boutiques and department stores including the infamous "Garmany" of Red Bank Department Store and Urban Outfitters. Designers are coming to Red Bank, including Tiffany & Co., who opened a 6,000-square-foot (600 m2) boutique on Broad Street next to Garmany in November 2007.[30] Red Bank is also home to what was the oldest family-owned Pontiac dealership in the United States, Rassas Pontiac Buick, located on Broad Street and established in 1930. When GM decided to end the Pontiac line, Rassas continued on with its Buick franchise, which was recognized as one of the top 50 Buick dealerships in the United States by General Motors.
