The Monmouth County Hunt has a rich history in central New Jersey, dating back to 1885, and is one of the oldest hunts in the United States. Founded in the gilded age of foxhunting by Peter Collier, the founder and publisher of Collier’s Magazine, one of the pioneering publications in investigative journalism. Monmouth County Hunt territory remains in central New Jersey in an area dominated by preserved farmland. Territory encompasses over 5000 contiguous acres of unencumbered land to hunt quarry, which is predominantly fox.
