Andrew Jackson, Rova Farms and Great Adventure.
Jackson was formed on March 6, 1844, from parts of Dover, Freehold and Upper Freehold Townships, and named for President Andrew Jackson a year before his death. It joined the new Ocean County in 1850. Its old villages still carry the names: Cassville, Jackson Mills, Whitesville, Prospertown, Holmansville and Colliers Mills.
In 1934 Russian-American families opened Rova Farms, a cooperative colony and resort near Cassville. Home building took off after the war, from about 100 houses a year in the late 1950s to more than 1,000 a year in the 1970s and ’80s. Six Flags Great Adventure opened on July 1, 1974, and Jackson Premium Outlets in 1997.
On April 1, 2023, two EF2 tornadoes with winds up to 120 mph hit Jackson; one collapsed the sports dome at Adventure Crossing near Route 537. Today Jackson is also home to a growing Orthodox Jewish community on its eastern side.
