 Ocean Grove was founded in
1869 as an outgrowth of the camp meeting movement in the United States when a group of
Methodist clergymen formed the Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association to develop and operate a summer
camp meeting site on the New Jersey seashore. Camp Meeting still owns all the land in town and leases it to homeowners and businesses for 99-year renewable terms.
Ocean Grove is still "dry", that is, the sale of all alcoholic beverages is prohibited. Ocean Grove remains the
longest-active camp meeting site in the United States.
