The resolution recognizes the centennial anniversary of Shrewsbury Borough, which will be celebrated in 2026. Incorporated on March 22, 1926, Shrewsbury is located in the northeast section of Monmouth County and spans approximately 2.3 square miles. As of the 2020 federal census, the borough had a population of 4,184 residents. It is one of the earliest settlements in the county, featuring several historic homes and churches, including Christ Church and the Allen House, both of which are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The resolution emphasizes the significance of commemorating Shrewsbury's 100-year history, acknowledging the many New Jersey residents who have made the borough their home over the past century. It calls for the New Jersey Legislature to formally recognize this milestone and directs that copies of the resolution be sent to the Mayor and municipal clerk of Shrewsbury.
