A Message from Commissioner Robert S. Arace

The Ocean County Board of Commissioners is proud to help commemorate the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution in what is now Ocean County. Like most of you, my family was not in what is now Ocean County during the American Revolution. I am a lifelong resident and my family moved to Ocean County in 1998. We are all part of the Ocean County family and we can commemorate and celebrate the proud history of our county. Ocean County is made up of a community of individuals some of whose ancestors were here before the American Revolution and would have been Patriots, Loyalists or Quakers. All of our residents, no matter how long they have called Ocean County home, contribute to the history and the future of this wonderful place we call Ocean County. Together, we commemorate the past, engage the present and prepare for our future.

Sincerely,

Commissioner Robert S. Arace
