Long Branch was a beach resort town in the late seventeen hundreds. In the eighteen hundreds it was a "Hollywood" of the east, where some of the greatest theatrical and other performers of the day gathered and performed. It was visited by presidents Chester A. Arthur, James Garfield, Ulysses S. Grant, Benjamin Harrison, Rutherford Hayes, William McKinley, and Woodrow Wilson. Seven Presidents Park, a park near the beach, is named in honor of their visits. The Church of the Presidents, in New Jersey, where all seven worshipped, is the only structure left in Long Branch associated with them. President James A. Garfield was brought to Long Branch in the hope that the fresh air and quiet in Elberon might aid his recovery after being shot on July second, eighteen eighty-one, an incident that left the assassin's bullet lodged in his spine. He died here on September nineteen, eighteen eighty-one, exactly two months before his fiftieth birthday. The Garfield Tea House, built from railroad ties that carried Garfield's train, is in Elberon. There are several distinct neighborhoods and areas in the City of Long Branch, each with its own character, strengths and challenges. Among these are North End, once known as "Atlanticville", Branchport, Beachfront North and South, including the Tony Pier Village, formerly the Long Branch Pier, Downtown, Uptown, West End and Elberon. As the city's now famous redevelopment initiatives continue to grow in scope and renown, the lower Broadway will become an Arts District. One of the first successes of the art district has been the Shore Institute for Contemporary Art on Broadway and Third Avenue. Long Branch's public schools are operated by Long Branch Public Schools, an Abbott District. Schools in the district are Joseph Ferraina Early Childhood Learning Center, five elementary schools — Amerigo A. Anastasia School (PreK-fifth grade), Audrey W. Clark School (third to fifth grade), Gregory School (K to second), Morris Avenue School (K-second grade) and West End School (third to fifth grade) — Long Branch Middle School for grades six to eight and Long Branch High School for grades nine to twelve. Also, there is a Private school in Long Branch called Seashore School, which is also a camp.
