Description: Ocean County is located along the Jersey Shore and borders Monmouth County to the north and Burlington County to the west. The county seat is Toms River. Ocean County was created in 1850 from the southern half of Monmouth County. Because of its late county creation and Ocean's former inclusion in Monmouth County, slavery records for this area are primarily to be found among Monmouth County documents.
