Samuel "Mingo Jack" Johnson, an African American born a slave, is lynched by a mob in what is now Eatontown. The mob attacked the jail where Johnson was being held on suspicion of his role in a rape of a local woman, who could not identify him but said that her rapist asked if she knew a "Mingo Jack," a nickname Johnson had received as a jockey after he had won a race on a horse named "Chief Mingo." Born in Colts Neck in 1820, Johnson was abandoned by his parents and raised by a white family, the Lairds. It was later proven that Johnson had no involvement in the rape.
