Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning Services in North Middletown, NJ

North Middletown, NJ is a twentieth-century town, that was known as Keansburg from 1912-1987. There is a history of the entire area being called Middletown before that. In 1609 Henry Hudson sailed his boat here. The Lenni Lenape ruled the land then, but at some point, Sachem Pompora, a Lenape chief, “sold” the land to the European settlers. He is still depicted on the town’s crest.

Hudson landed at Sandy Hook Bay and was only known to call Middletown “a very good land” in 1609, and he quickly went back to looking for the North West Passage. By 1665, Europeans started to settle down here, and Middletown was one of the earliest named places. It was sanctioned a township in 1693 and was mostly occupied by the British during its early development and on through the American Revolution.

Pirates also settled here. Ideal Beach was their headquarters, and Captain Kidd himself brought his men here. They are said to have fallen in love with the Middletown women and stayed after Kidd was put to death for his crimes in 1701. The entire place was not incorporated as an official U.S. township almost a century later in 1798. It wasn’t until Middletown started to have distinct villages that Keansburg was created within Middletown Township in 1917. In 1988 North Middletown was renamed from Keansburg.

A more recent claim to fame is the beloved ”Evil Clown of Middletown”. He was built in 1956 on a rotating base, towering over the road to attract customers to the Food Circus Supermarket. He now marks to front of a liquor store. Many attempts to knock him down have been quashed by the love of the community. The clown has been featured on TV and magazines throughout the years.
