The Jersey Coast Chapter was founded in 1917 along with several other chapters in Monmouth County . During World War II, all Monmouth County chapters were united into one chapter that was headquartered in Shrewsbury in a residential house in Shrewsbury . The Board of Directors, in the early 1960’s, voted to expand the Chapter’s facility by taking down the residential building and replacing it with a larger chapter house.
In 1992, the Monmouth Chapter and Ocean Chapter merged to become the Jersey Chapter. In September of 2000, the Chapter made a major move from their Chapter house in Shrewsbury to the current Chapter headquarters located in Tinton Falls . A satellite office still remains in Toms River .
