About this city
Also known as: The Birthplace of the Big Bang Evidence
Situated in the beautiful, prosperous northern hills of Monmouth County within the New York metropolitan periphery, Holmdel is an affluent township renowned globally as an international capital of modern technological and telecommunications breakthroughs. Incorporated in 1857, the town originally thrived as a wealthy agricultural center, world-famous for its premium potato and fruit estates. In the mid-20th century, its economic destiny was permanently altered by the construction of the Bell Labs Holmdel Complex, a massive, modernist architectural masterpiece where international scientists famously discovered the cosmic microwave background radiation, proving the Big Bang theory. Today, Holmdel coordinates its cutting-edge technological office campuses and luxury estate properties with expansive preserved parklands and state-of-the-art concert amphitheaters.
