About Freehold Borough
Freehold Borough is the historic downtown core of the Freehold area — the county seat of Monmouth County — centered on a walkable Main Street with the county courthouse, the Monmouth Battle Monument, and Freehold Raceway. It is denser and more urban than the surrounding township: Victorian-era homes near downtown, apartments and condos and a working community. Borough vs. Township: the borough (1.9 sq mi) is the old town center; Freehold Township wraps around it with suburbs, the mall, and corporate parks.
