Union Salt Works, Treasure Island and a Dutch name.
During the Revolution, the Union Salt Works stood here; British Loyalists burned it on April 5, 1778, and it reopened about a year later. In 1881 the Brielle Land Association bought land along the river, and a developer who had visited Brielle in the Netherlands saw the resemblance and borrowed the name.
Robert Louis Stevenson stayed here in May 1888, wrote part of The Master of Ballantrae and nicknamed Osborn Island “Treasure Island.” Brielle split from Wall Township in 1919, and Ripley’s once noted it had “16 bars and no churches.”
Today Brielle is a boating town of about 5,000 people, with marinas, the Manasquan River Golf Club, business districts on Union and Higgins Avenues, and a motto that fits: “A Community by the River.”
