==History==
The area that is now known as Tinton Falls was originally settled in the late 1600s, probably beginning with the initial land purchases from the Lenni Lenape Native Americans in 1664. Water power and iron ore were likely the incentives that encouraged settlement: shortly after (land was purchased ), a man by the name of James Grover had an ironworks built along the river. Grover was likely the founder of the community, which, in the 1600s, was named "New Shrewsbury".〔 At this time, the waterfall was known to be about high;〔Gabrelan, Randall. (''The American Century Series: Tinton Falls in the Twentieth Century'' ), Arcadia Publishing, 1999. ISBN 9780738564753.
