About Long Branch
Long Branch is the Jersey Shore's historic resort city — Pier Village, a long boardwalk, Seven Presidents Oceanfront Park, the West End, and the Elberon section with the Church of the Presidents. It has its own PreK–12 district and two North Jersey Coast Line stations; Long Branch is the electrification boundary, so some trains terminate or change here.
