Roosevelt
is in beautiful Monmouth County. It is approximately two square miles.
Roosevelt preserves the small town atmosphere that has been lost in so many
other places. Founded as Jersey Homesteads, and named after President
Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Roosevelt's unique character sets it apart from
other communities.
Under current New Jersey law, there are four
basic forms of municipal government, each deriving its powers from the state
legislature. The four forms of government are borough, city, town, and
township.. There is only one municipality in New Jersey, that has a village
form of government, Loch Arbour. The borough form of government was created
in 1878 and modified by the Borough Act of 1987. There are approximately 218
municipalities using the borough form of government, which is supervised by
a mayor and six council members, all of whom are elected at large. There are
37 boroughs in Monmouth County. Roosevelt is unique in its greenbelt plan.
The main street is Rochdale Avenue and goes through the center of the
Borough. The Roosevelt School, Post Office, Deli, and the bulletin board are
at the center of the Borough. Meet and greet your neighbors at the Deli or
Post Office. The is no home delivery of mail.
Comments and suggestions welcome.
