The borough was formed as New Shrewsbury on August 15, 1950 after breaking
away from Shrewsbury Township. It was renamed "Tinton Falls" in 1975, to
avoid postal errors. The name came from Lewis Morris's plantation, Tinton
Manor. The borough is home to the highest waterfall on New Jersey's coastal
plain.
