About the Sixth District of New Jersey
The Sixth District of New Jersey covers most of Middlesex County and
a good portion of Monmouth County, including the Bayshore and 16 communities
on the Atlantic Ocean. It also encompasses small portions of Somerset
and Union counties.
While the district is predominantly suburban in character, the cities
of New Brunswick, Asbury Park, Long Branch, and Plainfield are key urban
centers. The beautiful coastal areas attract many summer visitors, making
tourism a major component of the regional economy.
This Central Jersey area is on the cutting edge of communications and
other high technology research and development. Contributing to this
growth is the substantial U.S. Department of Defense presence at Fort
Monmouth, Camp Kilmer and Naval Weapons Station Earle.
The District is home to Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey,
as well as Monmouth University and Middlesex and Brookdale community
colleges. Outstanding educational institutions combined with the presence
of many pharmaceutical companies make the area a center for major scientific
and medical research.
