Located in east-central Monmouth County, the Borough of Eatontown derives its name from one of its earliest settlers, Thomas Eaton, who built a gristmill here in the late 1600s. Today, the borough offers its 13,500 residents a pleasant suburban lifestyle with a popular mall in the center of town. The borough was also home to Fort Monmouth, an army base that closed in 2011.
