History

In the 1937 renumbering of Monmouth County highways, County Route 12A was designated as a part of County Route 12; by 1939 it was designated as 12A. This route was taken over as a county highway on April 11, 1900 from the present New Jersey Route 35 to the William H. English property near McClees Creek, a distance of 1.80 miles. [Resolution, Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders, April 11, 1900] This was extended to its eastern terminus on March 25, 1943. [Resolution, Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders, March 25, 1943] , and the segment leading west of Route 35 was taken over on April 20, 1960.
