Sea Bright was formed as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 21, 1889, from portions of Ocean Township, based on the results of a referendum held the previous day. The borough was reincorporated on March 10, 1897.[20] Additional portions of Ocean Township were annexed by the borough in March 1909.[21]
Some sources attribute the name to a suggestion made by Martha Bayard Stevens,[22][23] The borough and other sources say that the borough was named for Sea Bright, England, though there is no evidence such a place exists.[24][25][26] Earlier sources often spell it as one word, "Seabright", as seen in the United States Coast Guard's Station Seabright and the Seabright Lawn Tennis and Cricket Club.
