History

File:Middletown Station (27957230209).jpg
The former New York and Long Branch Railroad station at Middletown.

The station was constructed as part of the New York and Long Branch Railroad, a subsidiary of the Central Railroad of New Jersey and the Pennsylvania Railroad. The site of the current Middletown station was part a farm owned by the Conover family. In 1875, the Conovers sold some of their land for $100 to build the railroad through the area. A new station was built in 1876 for the passenger service.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".

After years of neglect, the station was repainted and rehabilitated in 1964 with attendance by descendants of the Conovers.[3] The high-level platforms were constructed in 1988 with the beginning of electric service down to Long Branch from South Amboy. The former depot stands at the edge of the parking lot on Conover Avenue.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
