History

In May 1958, several Nike Ajax missiles exploded at Battery NY-53 in Chapel Hill, killing ten Army and civilian personnel. The sign is a remnant of an old supermarket that used to be at that location called "Food Circus". Upon the completion of a railroad junction in 1875, the town grew more rapidly, eventually changing from a group of small and loosely connected fishing and agricultural villages into a wealthy and alarmingly fast-growing suburb at the turn of the 20th century. A popular landmark in the community is the "Evil Clown of Middletown", a towering sign along New Jersey Route 35 35 painted to resemble a circus clown that currently advertises a liquor store. Middletown was extremely hard hit during the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, losing 37 of its residents, among the largest number for any municipality in New Jersey.
