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. 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. Smart growth planning.
