Legend has it that the borough's name is derived from early settlers who bought the piece of land now known as Rumson from the Native Americans for some rum. But as far back as 1663, long before the area was officially named Rumson, Native Americans called it “Navarumsunk”. Over the years it has been shortened to “Rumson”. In 1907, Rumson was officially incorporated as a Borough. Other names Rumson has been known by include Black Point, Port Washington, and Oceanic. Rumson was purchased by English settlers in pieces. The first purchase is dated January 25, 1665, and it included parts of Middletown. The rest of the area was purchased April 7, 1665 and June 5, 1665. There are many old, historic homes in Rumson, but the oldest ever was the 700-acre Tredwell House, named after a family that summered here for almost 100 years. The oldest part of the house being from 1670, it was the second oldest building in Monmouth County as of June 2006, when it was destroyed by fire. -- Source: Wikipedia.com
