List Of Monmouth County Freeholder Directors
This is a list of those who have served as Director of the Monmouth County, New Jersey Board of Chosen Freeholders from 1790 to the present. Pursuant to legislation passed in 1709, freeholders sat with the justices of the peace as the Board of Justices and Freeholders; the presiding officer was then known as chairman. Chairmen of the Board of Justices and Freeholders are included here where records are still extant, as well as whether they were a justice or a freeholder.
Legislation passed in 1798 separated the freeholders and justices; at that time the Board of Chosen Freeholders was established.
Before 1906, Monmouth County Freeholders were elected by townships; where available, this is indicated. As a result of a 1905 referendum reducing the membership on the board, from 1906 to the present they have been elected at-large.

Do they feel comfortable adapting to change? Are they easily discouraged if they cannot arrive at a solution to a problem? The answers to those questions will give you a better appraisal of their education than any list of courses, grades, or test scores.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“Hold hard, my county darlings, for a hawk descends,
Golden Glamorgan straightens, to the falling birds.
Your sport is summer as the spring runs angrily.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
