History
In the 1937 renumbering of Monmouth County roads, numbers 1 through 5 were reserved for the longer, "cross-county" routes; those numbered 6 and above were to be more local in nature. County Route 1 was designated to run from the
Mercer County line via
Freehold Borough and
Eatontown to the
Long Branch city limits. With the establishment of the 500 Series of
county routes, CR 1 was superseded by
CR 524 from the Mercer County line to Smithburg, and
CR 537 from Smithburg to the Long Branch boundary.
The present CR 1 was formed when part of
CR 3 was separated from the balance of CR 3 with the 1952 establishment of
CR 527 as part of the 500 Series routes. Since the CR 1 designation was available, that portion of CR 3 between CR 527 and
CR 571 was re-designated as CR 1.
