The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗The area surrounding the Manasquan River and its watershed, which contains modern-day Howell, was originally settled by Paleo-Indians as early as 9,000 BC. These Paleo-Indians would later be called the Lenape people and the area was included in their territorial settlement of Lenapehoking. The Lenape who inhabited the area spoke the Northern dialect of Unami and several of their most prominent footpaths would become roadways, including sections of U.S. Route 9 and Route 33.
