History

Over a two-week span in July, up to 100 sharks were killed during the hunt for this shark known as the "Matawan Man-Eater". An unknown species, most likely a bull shark, entered Matawan Creek where it killed a boy, Lester Stillwell; a man, Stanley Fisher; and injured another boy, Joseph Dunn. As of the United States 2000 Census, the borough population was 8,910.

Despite being 11 miles from the Atlantic Ocean, Matawan was the site of three shark attacks on July 12, 1916. They closely followed an attack in Beach Haven on July 1 and one in Spring Lake on July 6. Popular belief is that the Great White was responsible for the Shoreline attacks and a Bull Shark was responsible for the Matawan Creek attacks.
