Matawan has well-rated schools and quick access to many destinations
Along New Jersey’s Raritan Bayshore, the suburban communities of Matawan and Aberdeen offer one of the area’s most convenient locations. The community is around the corner from the amusement park of Keansburg, a short drive up Route 36 from the beaches of Sea Bright, within 10 minutes of the Raritan Bridge into North Jersey, and along major train and bus routes including New York City. This charming suburb also boasts a highly rated school district. Matawan’s name, in the Lenape Tribe’s language – may refer to “where two rivers come together,” as this town is surrounded by lakes, streams, and creeks. Movie buffs may be interested to know that Matawan was the site of a 1916 shark attack that inspired the legendary film Jaws a half-century later; this historic local event is commemorated with a “man-eater” mural at a kayaking tunnel and an informative plaque. Aberdeen Township was established in 1677, drawing its name from the Scottish town from which most of its original settlers emigrated, and this town shares historical ties with Matawan; from 1857 to 1977, Aberdeen was renamed to “Matawan Township.”
The Matawan-Aberdeen Station is centrally located in the heart of Matawan.
The Burrows Mansion in Matawan was built in 1723 and now operates as a museum.

Memorial Park offers history and shaded paths
At the entrance to Matawan, Memorial Park provides residents with a venue for reflection on the town’s history and heroes, from a statue commemorating the locals who served in World War I to a plaque recalling the 1916 Matawan shark attack, a monument dedicated to the Matawan Fire Department, and a small memorial to the local victims of 9/11. This park is popular for shaded strolls, as is the Henry Hudson Trail, which runs through the town on its way to the shoreline.

Livoti’s Old World Market sells high-quality Italian deli meats, fresh bread and mozzarella cheese, and other Mediterranean ingredients for cooking enthusiasts. Just down Route 34, both a Stop & Shop and ShopRite provide a more comprehensive selection of grocery needs. Matawan is teeming with dozens of popular restaurants with diverse menus, from the old-timey feel at Park Place Diner to the gastropub environment at Maloney’s Pub & Grill, the large portions of Indian food at Hyderabad Spice, and the traditional Chinese dim sum at West Lake.
