Do you know of Eatontown ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Eatontown. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Eatontown.<1>

Our sources for Eatontown (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Eatontown other than they indicate that Eatontown would be found somewhere in Monmouth County, New Jersey.
