History

Navesink Avenue was taken over as a county highway on July 11, 1900. [Resolution, Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders, Jul. 11, 1900] At that time it ran for 2.32 miles into Highlands, terminating at the Highlands-Sea Bright Bridge. In 1910, the 1.30 miles of Navesink Avenue east of Ocean Boulevard was designated as part of the Ocean Highway. By 1929, Navesink Avenue had been assigned the number County Route 59. About 1930, the eastern segment was taken over as part of New Jersey Route 36, leaving 1.02 miles under county jurisdiction.

In the 1937 renumbering of Monmouth County highways, Navesink Avenue was designated as a part of County Route 8; it was later suffixed as 8B.
