You may have seen this floating around social media recently, but the major, national website Love Exploring has put together a list of the 50 best small towns in America, and one of our best towns is on the list.

Now, if you haven't heard which town it is, you could probably assume it's Colts Neck, Freehold, Spring Lake, or maybe even. And while all those towns are certainly worthy of the honor, none of them made this list.

The honor belongs to a town that sits peacefully along the Navesink, has a legendary and adorable downtown, and is one of the most historic and beloved towns in all of Monmouth County.

Congratulations to the always adorable small town we call Red Bank. Love Exploring says it's among the most charming small towns in the entire country.

As a matter of fact, the respected website ranked Red Bank at #40 on their list of 50, and it was the only town in New Jersey to make the list.

And we really love the choice. Red Bank has so many great businesses and restaurants for all of us to enjoy. Take a look at a Directory of Red Bank businesses.

And there are always great things going on in beautiful Red Bank. You can always stay up to date on events in town at Red Bank.org.

For the record, the number one charming little town in America is Harper's Ferry, West Virginia, which I never heard of. But in fairness, they probably never of Red Bank either.

LOOK: Best Beers From Every State

To find the best beer in each state and Washington D.C., Stacker analyzed January 2020 data from BeerAdvocate, a website that gathers user scores for beer in real-time. BeerAdvocate makes its determinations by compiling consumer ratings for all 50 states and Washington D.C. and applying a weighted rank to each. The weighted rank pulls the beer toward the list's average based on the number of ratings it has and aims to allow lesser-known beers to increase in rank. Only beers with at least 10 rankings to be considered; we took it a step further to only include beers with at least 100 user rankings in our gallery.
