Old Brick Reformed Church

The Old Brick Reformed Church began in Marlboro Township, New Jersey c.1699. Most of the original families of the church originally came from Long Island. Originally the services were conducted in Dutch by Ministers who came from Brooklyn on a rotating schedule. The Dutch language was continued until 1764. This schedule continued for a number of years until in 1709 Reverence Joseph Morgan became the first pastor of the church. The first congregation church was located near "Hendrickson's Hill" in the old village of Marlboro. The current church and burial ground is located on Route 520; it was begun in 1731 but in 1826 was considered too small and was replaced.[1] In 1869, the congregation constructed a chapel in the village of Marlboro. That building was sold in 1969.
