Europeans settled in the Nut Swamp section of Middletown in the late 17th century. A member of one of Middletown’s earliest settlement families, Sylvanus Grover, acquired land along Middletown-Lincroft Road in 1759 and built a small tenant house that today is the oldest section of the extant farmhouse. After George W. Crawford of Holmdel acquired the property in 1856, it became known as Sunnyside Farm. The 135-acre farm remained in the Crawford family until 1933 when Henry and Katherine Neuberger of New York bought it and transformed it into a country estate. The Neubergers renovated the house and some of the barns in the Colonial Revival Style, and they raised pedigreed steers and horses on the farm.
In the 1980s, Middletown fought a six-year battle to prevent Calton Homes from developing on the the farm land. In 1990, the Park System acquired 116 acres, and Calton Homes donated the remaining 13 acres. Today, Sunnyside Recreation Area is home to Special People United to Ride (SPUR), a therapeutic riding program for those with disabilities. A portion of the site is preserved as open space in the form of a vegetation management program coordinated with the U.S. Department of Agriculture/National Resource Conservation Service and Monmouth County Agricultural Extension Office.
