The Township is working with InfoAge, a group of non-profit organizations, to develop an interactive learning center focused on information age technologies at Camp Evans. These historic towers are part of the Camp Evans Historic District, a former military post that has just been transferred to Wall Township. The Marconi Tower represents the trans-Atlantic radio transmission complex built in Wall Township by inventor and radio pioneer Guglielmo Marconi, and the Diana Radar Tower is the tower used to bounce the first radio signal off of the moon. The other two properties on the seal highlight Wall Township’s role in the development of 20th century technology. The Allaire Iron Furnace (1788) represents 18th-century industry, and the Allgor-Kittell Blacksmith Shop (one of the earliest brick structures in Monmouth County) exemplifies the 19th-century growth of the Township’s small villages. The first two reflect the community’s early history. The township’s history is featured on the official township seal, which includes images of four historic properties. Wall Township (population 25,261) is the first Preserve AmericaCommunity to be designated in the state of New Jersey.
