Route description

This highway extends 6.54 miles from CR 571 at Elys Corner east to CR 527 in Carrs Corner. It runs entirely within Millstone Township. It carries the name of Sweetmans Lane and Perrineville Road. CR 1 provides a southern alternative to Route 33 via CR 571 and CR 527.

History

In the 1937 renumbering of Monmouth County roads, numbers 1 through 5 were reserved for the longer, "cross-county" routes; those numbered 6 and above were to be more local in nature. County Route 1 was designated to run from the Mercer County line via Freehold and Eatontown to the Long Branch city limits. With the establishment of the 500 Series of county routes, CR 1 was superseded by CR 524 from the Mercer County line to Smithburg, and CR 537 from Smithburg to the Long Branch boundary.The present CR 1 was formed when part of County Route 3 was separated from the balance of CR 3 with the 1952 establishment of CR 527 as part of the 500 Series routes. Since the CR 1 designation was available, that portion of CR 3 between CR 527 and CR 571 was redesignated as County Route 1.
