History
Keasbey was originally known as "Florida Grove" due to its picnic areas and beaches on the Raritan River.
The community is named after the Keasbey family, whose home in Morristown is now Macculloch Hall, a museum. One of the brick manufacturers established in Keasbey was owned by the Keasbey family.
Arizona Beverage Company, the makers of AriZona Iced Tea, opened AriZonaLand at its 70-acre (28 ha) facility, offering visitors a "Willy-Wonka-esque" tour of its factory, complete with a gift shop and museum.
Major sections of Smith Street, a critical artery connecting Keasbey to Perth Amboy has been closed since September 2025, when a quarter-mile-long crack split the roadway, leading to months of anticipated repairs and significant traffic detours related to reconstruction of the road.
