Enduro is a class of off-road motorcycle racing, usually a timed event. Mike Lafferty is a seven-time Enduro national champion who hails from the community of Port Elizabeth in Maurice (MOR-ris) River Township. The township is located in eastern Cumberland County, in New Jersey's Tidewater country. The Maurice River, which has been designated a Wild and Scenic River, forms most of the township's western boundary. |

Beginning in 1742, David Brainerd did missionary work among the Delaware Indians at Easton, PA and near Cranbury for five
years until his death at the age of 29. The scene at the top of the sign shows Brainerd preaching to a group of Indians. The inscription reads, "Here David Brainerd, missionary, labored with the Indians." Originally known as Cranberry borough, Cranbury retains a small-town, early 20th-century charm. |

On the south bank of the Raritan River, South Amboy proclaims itself the "Gateway to the Shore," but since the Garden State Parkway and Routes 9 and 35 all bypass the city, few people now travel through on their way to the shore. |
Keyport, on Raritan Bay, is known as the "Pearl of the Bayshore," a reference to the town's thriving oyster industry from 1880 to 1920. |
