Sea Bright is a borough situated on the Jersey Shore, within Monmouth County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. As of the 2020 United States census, the borough's population was 1,449,[7] an increase of 37 (+2.6%) from the 2010 census count of 1,412,[16][17] which in turn had reflected a decline of 406 (−22.3%) from the 1,818 counted in the 2000 census.[18]
Sea Bright was formed as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 21, 1889, from portions of Ocean Township, based on the results of a referendum held the previous day. The borough was reincorporated on March 10, 1897.[19] Additional portions of Ocean Township were annexed by the borough in March 1909.[20]
Some sources attribute the name to a suggestion made by Martha Bayard Stevens,[21][22] The borough and other sources say that the borough was named for Sea Bright, England, though there is no evidence such a place exists.[23][24][25] Earlier sources often spell it as one word, "Seabright", as seen in the United States Coast Guard's Station Seabright and the Seabright Lawn Tennis and Cricket Club.

"Nestled along the grass-topped sand dunes, a fishing village, originally named 'Nauvoo' was the site of present-day Sea Bright. Often mistaken for a Native American name, Nauvoo is actually a Sephardic Hebrew word meaning 'beautiful and pleasant place.' The eventual naming of the community as 'Sea Bright' was actually attributed to a Mrs. Martha Stevens of Hoboken who frequented the area in the mid-1860s."
