Jackson Township, situated on approximately 100 square miles in northern Ocean County, has the largest land mass of all municipalities in Ocean County, New Jersey.  Jackson has a warm humid continental climate and is located within the New Jersey Pinelands, recognized as an International Biosphere Reserve with some of the purest water in the nation.

Jackson Township, with its beautiful tree-lined neighborhoods, is known by many as the “Gateway to the Jersey Shore”.  It is less than an hour away from New York City and Philadelphia, making it ideal for commuters, and only 20 miles to great beaches on the Jersey Shore.

Starting in the 1960s, Jackson began a rapid growth period spurred by the connection of new highways through Ocean County to the nearby major cities like Trenton, Philadelphia, and New York City. Workers in the big cities could now move their families out of the city suburbs to more desirable living conditions and still commute to their jobs.  Land development shifted from agriculture to new home communities.

In the 1960s approximately 750 homes per year were being built, and that grew to more than 1,000 homes per year in the ’70s and ’80s.  The growth trend has continued, and as of the 2010 Census Jackson Township’s population was 54,856, up from 33,233 counted in the 1990 Census.

Some of Jackson’s family-fun attractions include Six Flags Great Adventure, Six Flags Hurricane Harbor and Six Flags Wild Safari.

Some of the township’s major attractions include:

Lakewood Township is the most populous township in Ocean CountyNew Jersey, United States. As of 2018, the municipality had a population of approximately 104,157 residents.[1] As of the 2010 United States Census, the township had a total population of 92,843,[2][3][4] representing an increase of 32,491 (+53.8%) from the 60,352 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 15,304 (+34.0%) from the 45,048 counted in the 1990 Census.[5] The township ranked as the seventh-most-populous municipality in the state in 2010 after having been ranked 22nd in 2000.[6] It now ranks 5th. The sharp increase in population from 2000 to 2010 was led by increases in the township's Orthodox Jewish and Latino communities.[7][8]
Lakewood is a hub of Orthodox Judaism, and is home to one of the largest yeshivas in the world, the 6,500-student Beth Medrash Govoha, which was founded by Rabbi Aharon Kotler.[9] The large Orthodox population, which comprises more than half the township's population, wields considerable political clout in the township as a voting bloc.[10][11][12]
The earliest documented European settlement of the present Lakewood area was by operators of sawmills, from about 1750 forward. One such sawmill – located at the east end of the present Lake Carasaljo – was known as Three Partners Mill from at least 1789 until at least 1814. From 1815 until 1818, in the same area, Jesse Richards had an iron-smelting operation known as Washington Furnace, using the local bog iron ore. The ironworks were revived in 1833 by Joseph W. Brick, who named the business Bergen Iron Works, which also became the name of the accompanying town. In 1865, the town was renamed Bricksburg in 1865, and in 1880, it was renamed Lakewood and became a fashionable winter resort.
Lakewood's developers thought that "Bricksburg" didn't capture their vision for the community, and the names "Brightwood" and "Lakewood" were proposed. After reaching out to area residents, "Lakewood" was chosen, and the United States Postal Service approved the name in March 1880.[29] The name "Lakewood" was intended to focus on the location near lakes and pine forests.[30]
Lakewood was incorporated as a township by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 23, 1892, from portions of Brick Township. Portions of Howell Township in Monmouth County were annexed to Lakewood Township in 1929.[31]
Lakewood's three greatest hotels were the Laurel House (opened in 1880; closed in 1932), the Lakewood Hotel (opened January 1891, closed in 1925), and the Laurel-in-the-Pines (opened December 1891, burned down in 1967).[32] Lakewood's promoters claimed that its winter temperature was usually about ten degrees warmer than that of New York City and were warmer than points located further south,[33][34] but this claim is not substantiated by official records of the United States Weather Bureau.[35] During the 1890s, Lakewood was a resort for the rich and famous, and The New York Times devoted a weekly column to the activities of Lakewood society.[36] Grover Cleveland spent the winters of 1891-92 and 1892-93 in a cottage near the Lakewood Hotel, commuting to his business in New York City.[37] Mark Twain also enjoyed vacationing in Lakewood. George Jay Gould I acquired an estate at Lakewood in 1896, which is now Georgian Court University.[38] John D. Rockefeller bought a property in 1902 which later became Ocean County Park.[39] Lakewood's hotel business remained strong in the 1920s and 1950s, but went into severe decline in the 1960s.[40] In the 1960s, much of the woods and cranberry bogs in the township were replaced by large housing developments. Leisure Village, a condominium retirement development on the south side of Route 70, opened for sale in 1963.[41]
oms River is a township in Ocean County, New Jersey, United States. Its mainland portion is also a census-designated place of the same name, which serves as the county seat of Ocean County.[22][23] Formerly known as the Township of Dover, in 2006 voters approved a change of the official name to the Township of Toms River, adopting the name of the largest unincorporated community within the township. As of the 2010 United States Census, the township had a total population of 91,239,[11][12][13] with the township ranking as the 8th-most-populous municipality in the state in 2010 (after having been ranked 7th in 2000) and the second most-populous municipality in Ocean County (behind Lakewood Township, which had a population of 92,843).[24] The 2010 population increased by 1,533 (+1.7%) from the 89,706 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 13,335 (+17.5%) from the 76,371 counted in the 1990 Census.[25]
In 2006, Toms River was ranked by Morgan Quitno Press as the 15th safest city in the United States, of 369 cities nationwide.[26] In 2007, Toms River was again ranked as the 14th-safest city in the United States of 371 cities nationwide.[27]
Toms River can be seen in various TV and news media including MTV's Made and Jersey Shore (seasons 1, 3, and 5), HBO's Boardwalk Empire and the original The Amityville Horror movie. In 1998, Toms River East Little League won the Little League World Series. The township has what is said to be the second-largest Halloween parade in the world.[28]
Much of the early history of the settlement of Toms River is obscured by conflicting stories. Various sources list the eponym of the township as either English captain William Tom,[29][30] farmer and ferryman Thomas Luker, or a Native American named Tom. In 1992, as part of celebrations commemorating the township's 225th anniversary, official recognition was granted to the tradition that the "Tom" in "Toms River" was for Thomas Luker, who ran a ferry across Goose Creek (now the Toms River).[31] During the 19th century, Toms River became a center for shipbuilding, whaling, fishing, and iron and lumber production. The settlement and the river were usually spelled "Tom's River" in its early days, though its current spelling has been standard since the middle of the 19th century.
Toms River was located in the southern section of the Township of Shrewsbury that obtained a royal charter to secede in 1767 and form Dover Township. During the American Revolutionary War, Toms River was home to a strategically important salt works that supplied colonial militias, as well as a base for privateer vessels that plundered British and Tory ships off the coast. In March 1782, a group of British and loyalist soldiers attacked a blockhouse along the river that housed the colonial militia and captured Captain Joshua Huddy, who was later hanged at Sandy Hook. Also destroyed were the salt works and most of the houses in the village.[32] The incident greatly complicated the tense relationship between the British, loyalist, and colonial and was a factor in prolonging the peace negotiations that were then in progress in Paris until 1783.[31]
The village of Toms River is listed on both the national[33] and state registers of historic places.[34]
Dover Township was incorporated as one of New Jersey's first 104 townships by the Township Act of 1798 of the New Jersey Legislature on February 21, 1798. Portions of the township were taken to form Jackson Township (March 6, 1844), Union Township (March 10, 1846, now Barnegat Township), Brick Township (February 15, 1850), Manchester Township (April 6, 1865), Berkeley Township (March 31, 1875), Island Heights (May 6, 1887), Lavallette (December 21, 1887) and Seaside Heights (February 26, 1913).[35][36] The township's original name was for Dover, England, and was changed to Toms River Township based on a referendum passed in 2006.[37]
Brick Township is a township in Ocean CountyNew Jersey, United States. As of the 2010 United States Census, the township had a population of 75,072,[9][11][12] making it the state's 13th-largest municipality and the third most populous municipality in Ocean County (behind Lakewood Township and Toms River Township), having seen a decline of 1,047 residents (-1.4%) from its population of 76,119 in the 2000 Census, when it was the state's 12th most-populous municipality.[10]
While the majority of Brick Township is located on the mainland, Ocean Beaches I, II and III are situated on the Barnegat Peninsula, a long, narrow barrier peninsula that separates Barnegat Bay from the Atlantic Ocean.[21] The mainland and beach area of the town are not geographically adjacent. Brick Township was incorporated as a township by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on February 15, 1850, from portions of both Dover Township (now Toms River Township) and Howell Township. The township was named after Joseph Brick, the owner of Bergen Iron Works located on the Metedeconk River.[22][23] Portions of the township were taken to form Point Pleasant Beach (May 18, 1886), Bay Head (June 15, 1886), Lakewood Township (March 23, 1892), Mantoloking (April 10, 1911) and Point Pleasant (April 21, 1920).[24] In 1963, voters rejected a referendum that would have changed the township's name to "Laurelton".[25]
The Havens Homestead Museum is dedicated to the Havens family that originally settled in the Laurelton/Burrsville section of Brick. The museum is the original Havens home which lies on a small plot of farmland. The museum has a gift shop and runs tours of the property daily.[26]
After hovering for years in the top five, in 2006, the township earned the title of "America's Safest City", out of 371 cities included nationwide in the 13th annual Morgan Quitno survey.[27] Since the year 2000, Brick Township has been the safest "city" (population over 75,000) in New Jersey. In 2003 and 2004, Brick Township was ranked as the second safest city in the United States, after Newton, Massachusetts.[28] In 2005, Brick Township had dropped down to the fifth safest "city" (population over 75,000) in the United States, before it rebounded to the top in 2006.[29] In 2009, Brick Township ranked No. 6 on Newsmax magazine's list of the "Top 25 Most Uniquely American Cities and Towns," a piece written by current CBS News travel editor Peter Greenberg. In determining his ranking, Greenberg cited Brick's consistent nod as a safe city and that its "commercial development of big-box stores, department stores, and chain restaurants has made it a shopping destination for much of northern Ocean County."[30]
Brick Township has also been in the news for a claimed autism epidemic, in which 40 children out of over 6,000 surveyed were found to be autistic, though Brick's autism rate is statistically near the national average. Many of the children found to be autistic were born in Northern New Jersey and other parts of the country. There is no evidence that the levels of autism are linked to any specific environmental factor in Brick.[31] Parents of children diagnosed with autism have moved to the township in order to make use of the special education programs offered by the school district.[32]
Brick has also been home to the heroin epidemic. According to the state's statistics, in 2012 Brick was ranked sixth in the state with 550 reported incidents of heroin or opiate abuse, behind NewarkJersey CityPatersonAtlantic City and Camden. In 2017, Brick improved to 438 reported heroin abuse cases, ranked ninth in the state.[33]
During the December 2010 North American blizzard, Brick Township received 30 inches (760 mm) of snow, the highest accumulation recorded in the state.[34][35] In October 2012, parts of Brick were devastated by Hurricane Sandy. Barrier island and other waterfront properties were particularly hard hit. Homes and such buildings as the Shore Acres Yacht Club sustained major damage; some buildings had to be demolished.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the township had a total area of 32.315 square miles (83.697 km2), including 25.715 square miles (66.602 km2) of land and 6.600 square miles (17.095 km2) of water (20.42%).[1][2]

The communities of Herbertsville and Parkway Pines are located close to exit 91 of the Garden State Parkway, near the Monmouth County border, and are geographically distant from the rest of the township.[citation needed] Bayberry Court and Maypink Lane are two streets that are not accessible from any other Brick roads, and are served by the United States Postal Service as ZIP Code 07731 with Howell Township.[citation needed]
The township borders Bay HeadLakewood TownshipMantolokingPoint Pleasant and Toms River Township in Ocean County; and the Monmouth County municipalities of BrielleHowell Township and Wall Township.[37]
Manchester Township is a township in Ocean CountyNew Jersey, United States. The township is noted for containing the Lakehurst Naval Air Station, the site of the infamous Hindenburg disaster of May 6, 1937. As of the 2010 United States Census, the township's population was 43,070,[8][9][10][11] reflecting an increase of 4,142 (+10.6%) from the 38,928 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 2,952 (+8.2%) from the 35,976 counted in the 1990 Census.[20] The 2010 population was the highest recorded in any decennial census.
Manchester Township was incorporated as a township by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on April 6, 1865, from portions of Dover Township (now Toms River Township). Portions of the township were taken to form Lakehurst on April 7, 1921.[21] The township was named by William Torrey for Manchester, England.[22][23]
According to the United States Census Bureau, the township had a total area of 82.694 square miles (214.177 km2), including 81.620 square miles (211.395 km2) of land and 1.074 square miles (2.782 km2) of water (1.30%).[1][2]

Manchester's largest development, Pine Lake Park, is known for its man-made lake, Pine Lake, built in the 1970s.[37]
Point Pleasant is a borough in Ocean CountyNew Jersey, United States.[21] As of the 2010 United States Census, the borough's population was 18,392,[10][11][12] reflecting a decline of 914 (-4.7%) from the 19,306 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 1,129 (+6.2%) from the 18,177 counted in the 1990 Census.[22]
Point Pleasant was incorporated as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on April 21, 1920, from portions of Brick Township, based on the results of a referendum held on May 19, 1920. The borough was reincorporated on March 12, 1928.[23] Point Pleasant is distinct from Point Pleasant Beach, which is a separate community.[24]
The borough is a Jersey Shore community situated on the Barnegat Peninsula, a long, narrow barrier peninsula that divides the Barnegat Bay from the Atlantic Ocean at the Manasquan Inlet, and the borough derives its name from this location.[25]
Around 1500, the area that included the future Point Pleasant was the ceremonial meeting place of the Lenape Native Americans, who called it the "Land of Tall Timber". In approximately 1665, the first European settlers arrived in the area, mainly fishermen, farmers and boat builders.[24]
On February 15, 1850, Governor Daniel Haines and the New Jersey Legislature separated Ocean County from Monmouth County, and created Brick Township, including the Point Pleasant area, which became independent of Brick Township in 1920, though the post office carried the designation "West Point Pleasant" until 1956. According to the town's official website, many longtime residents still use that name. The town's first mayor was Melville B. Parker, chosen after J.H. Harvey declined the position after being elected. The town was initially a logging town, although logging was never a significant part of the local economy.[24]
In 1924, the Manasquan River-Bay Head Canal was completed as part of the inland waterway. The canal, which divides Point Pleasant in half, provides a passage for boats, and is the northern most leg of the Intracoastal Waterway which traverses the East Coast of the United States along the Atlantic Ocean between New Jersey and Florida. In 1964, Senator Clifford Case introduced legislation that changed the canal's name to the Point Pleasant Canal.[24]
Though often regarded as a summer resort, the borough's website emphasizes that it is a "year round community of approximately 19,000 residents".[24]

Jackson Township, situated on approximately 100 square miles in northern Ocean County, has the largest land mass of all municipalities in Ocean County, New Jersey.  Jackson has a warm humid continental climate and is located within the New Jersey Pinelands, recognized as an International Biosphere Reserve with some of the purest water in the nation.

Jackson Township, with its beautiful tree-lined neighborhoods, is known by many as the “Gateway to the Jersey Shore”.  It is less than an hour away from New York City and Philadelphia, making it ideal for commuters, and only 20 miles to great beaches on the Jersey Shore.

Starting in the 1960s, Jackson began a rapid growth period spurred by the connection of new highways through Ocean County to the nearby major cities like Trenton, Philadelphia, and New York City. Workers in the big cities could now move their families out of the city suburbs to more desirable living conditions and still commute to their jobs.  Land development shifted from agriculture to new home communities.

In the 1960s approximately 750 homes per year were being built, and that grew to more than 1,000 homes per year in the ’70s and ’80s.  The growth trend has continued, and as of the 2010 Census Jackson Township’s population was 54,856, up from 33,233 counted in the 1990 Census.

Some of Jackson’s family-fun attractions include Six Flags Great Adventure, Six Flags Hurricane Harbor and Six Flags Wild Safari.

Jackson’s public school students attend the Jackson School District in 6 elementary school, 2 middle school and 2 high school facilities.

Located in Western Monmouth County on 30.8 square miles, Manalapan Township is only 15 miles from the Jersey Shore and 45 miles from Manhattan. Yorketown and Englishtown are both communities located within Manalapan Township borders.

As of the 2010 Census, the township’s population was 38,872, an increase of 5,449 (+16.3%) from the 33,423 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 6,707 (+25.1%) from the 26,716 counted in the 1990 Census.  The township provides a suburban setting that has contributed greatly to its appeal and growth over the past 20+ years.

Public school students k-8 attend the Manalapan-Englishtown Regional School District, and students in grades 9-12 attend either Manalapan High School or Freehold Township High School, as part of the Freehold Regional High School District.

Public high school students also have the option to attend one of the Monmouth County Vocational School District’s five career academies.

Manalapan has a 162-acre recreation center that offers handball courts, softball/baseball fields, a fitness trail, football fields, soccer fields, street hockey courts, tot lots, basketball courts, tennis courts, bocce courts, sand volleyball courts, a nine-hole golf course, concession stand, picnic areas, and shelter buildings.

One of the largest and most significant battles of the American Revolution took place in Manalapan Township.  The park, The Battle of Monmouth Battlefield,  preserves a rural 18th-century landscape of hilly farmland and hedgerows that encompasses miles of hiking and horseback riding trails, picnic areas, a restored Revolutionary War farmhouse, and a visitors center.

Marlboro Township is situated on approximately 30 square miles on the eastern border of Monmouth County, NJ. Morganville and Robertsville are unincorporated areas located within the township and contain a little more than 1/3 of the township’s approximately 40,000 residents.

The township has plenty to offer its residents including beautiful homes, wide open spaces, a variety of entertainment, shopping and recreational opportunities, as well as its proximity to the Jersey Shore and New York City.

The climate is considered a humid sub-tropical climate placing it in Zone 7B on the USDA hardiness scale, which extends from Monmouth County, NJ to Northern Georgia. Because of its sheltered location and proximity to the Atlantic Ocean, some tropical plants, such as palm trees, cactus and native bamboo can survive here with minimal winter protection.

Marlboro Township is located near some major East Coast attractions. One of the most notable is the Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson Township, and of course the Jersey Shore to the east. The Freehold Raceway Mall is a super-regional mall anchored by Lord & Taylor, Macy’s, and Nordstrom, among others. Then there is the Freehold Raceway, the oldest half-mile harness racing track in the United States. The Manasquan Reservoir is just 30 minutes south of the township and offers a regionally known Environmental Center, as well as nature and exercise related activities such as fishing, non-powered water sports, bird watching, jogging, biking, and paths for dog walking.

The township’s Recreation Commission maintains several parks and facilities for public use offering a wide variety of sports, recreation, and nature-inspired activities for young and old alike . . . there is something for everyone here.

There are several larger adult communities located in Marlboro Township.  To search for homes in one of the 55+ communities in Marlboro Township, use our Adult Community HomesLifestyle Property Search located front and center on our home page as well as under the Property Search menu item located on every page.

Some of the township’s major attractions include:

Lakewood Township is the most populous township in Ocean CountyNew Jersey, United States. As of 2018, the municipality had a population of approximately 104,157 residents.[1] As of the 2010 United States Census, the township had a total population of 92,843,[2][3][4] representing an increase of 32,491 (+53.8%) from the 60,352 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 15,304 (+34.0%) from the 45,048 counted in the 1990 Census.[5] The township ranked as the seventh-most-populous municipality in the state in 2010 after having been ranked 22nd in 2000.[6] It now ranks 5th. The sharp increase in population from 2000 to 2010 was led by increases in the township's Orthodox Jewish and Latino communities.[7][8]
Lakewood is a hub of Orthodox Judaism, and is home to one of the largest yeshivas in the world, the 6,500-student Beth Medrash Govoha, which was founded by Rabbi Aharon Kotler.[9] The large Orthodox population, which comprises more than half the township's population, wields considerable political clout in the township as a voting bloc.[10][11][12]
The earliest documented European settlement of the present Lakewood area was by operators of sawmills, from about 1750 forward. One such sawmill – located at the east end of the present Lake Carasaljo – was known as Three Partners Mill from at least 1789 until at least 1814. From 1815 until 1818, in the same area, Jesse Richards had an iron-smelting operation known as Washington Furnace, using the local bog iron ore. The ironworks were revived in 1833 by Joseph W. Brick, who named the business Bergen Iron Works, which also became the name of the accompanying town. In 1865, the town was renamed Bricksburg in 1865, and in 1880, it was renamed Lakewood and became a fashionable winter resort.
Lakewood's developers thought that "Bricksburg" didn't capture their vision for the community, and the names "Brightwood" and "Lakewood" were proposed. After reaching out to area residents, "Lakewood" was chosen, and the United States Postal Service approved the name in March 1880.[29] The name "Lakewood" was intended to focus on the location near lakes and pine forests.[30]
Lakewood was incorporated as a township by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 23, 1892, from portions of Brick Township. Portions of Howell Township in Monmouth County were annexed to Lakewood Township in 1929.[31]
Lakewood's three greatest hotels were the Laurel House (opened in 1880; closed in 1932), the Lakewood Hotel (opened January 1891, closed in 1925), and the Laurel-in-the-Pines (opened December 1891, burned down in 1967).[32] Lakewood's promoters claimed that its winter temperature was usually about ten degrees warmer than that of New York City and were warmer than points located further south,[33][34] but this claim is not substantiated by official records of the United States Weather Bureau.[35] During the 1890s, Lakewood was a resort for the rich and famous, and The New York Times devoted a weekly column to the activities of Lakewood society.[36] Grover Cleveland spent the winters of 1891-92 and 1892-93 in a cottage near the Lakewood Hotel, commuting to his business in New York City.[37] Mark Twain also enjoyed vacationing in Lakewood. George Jay Gould I acquired an estate at Lakewood in 1896, which is now Georgian Court University.[38] John D. Rockefeller bought a property in 1902 which later became Ocean County Park.[39] Lakewood's hotel business remained strong in the 1920s and 1950s, but went into severe decline in the 1960s.[40] In the 1960s, much of the woods and cranberry bogs in the township were replaced by large housing developments. Leisure Village, a condominium retirement development on the south side of Route 70, opened for sale in 1963.[41]
oms River is a township in Ocean County, New Jersey, United States. Its mainland portion is also a census-designated place of the same name, which serves as the county seat of Ocean County.[22][23] Formerly known as the Township of Dover, in 2006 voters approved a change of the official name to the Township of Toms River, adopting the name of the largest unincorporated community within the township. As of the 2010 United States Census, the township had a total population of 91,239,[11][12][13] with the township ranking as the 8th-most-populous municipality in the state in 2010 (after having been ranked 7th in 2000) and the second most-populous municipality in Ocean County (behind Lakewood Township, which had a population of 92,843).[24] The 2010 population increased by 1,533 (+1.7%) from the 89,706 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 13,335 (+17.5%) from the 76,371 counted in the 1990 Census.[25]
In 2006, Toms River was ranked by Morgan Quitno Press as the 15th safest city in the United States, of 369 cities nationwide.[26] In 2007, Toms River was again ranked as the 14th-safest city in the United States of 371 cities nationwide.[27]
Toms River can be seen in various TV and news media including MTV's Made and Jersey Shore (seasons 1, 3, and 5), HBO's Boardwalk Empire and the original The Amityville Horror movie. In 1998, Toms River East Little League won the Little League World Series. The township has what is said to be the second-largest Halloween parade in the world.[28]
Much of the early history of the settlement of Toms River is obscured by conflicting stories. Various sources list the eponym of the township as either English captain William Tom,[29][30] farmer and ferryman Thomas Luker, or a Native American named Tom. In 1992, as part of celebrations commemorating the township's 225th anniversary, official recognition was granted to the tradition that the "Tom" in "Toms River" was for Thomas Luker, who ran a ferry across Goose Creek (now the Toms River).[31] During the 19th century, Toms River became a center for shipbuilding, whaling, fishing, and iron and lumber production. The settlement and the river were usually spelled "Tom's River" in its early days, though its current spelling has been standard since the middle of the 19th century.
Toms River was located in the southern section of the Township of Shrewsbury that obtained a royal charter to secede in 1767 and form Dover Township. During the American Revolutionary War, Toms River was home to a strategically important salt works that supplied colonial militias, as well as a base for privateer vessels that plundered British and Tory ships off the coast. In March 1782, a group of British and loyalist soldiers attacked a blockhouse along the river that housed the colonial militia and captured Captain Joshua Huddy, who was later hanged at Sandy Hook. Also destroyed were the salt works and most of the houses in the village.[32] The incident greatly complicated the tense relationship between the British, loyalist, and colonial and was a factor in prolonging the peace negotiations that were then in progress in Paris until 1783.[31]
The village of Toms River is listed on both the national[33] and state registers of historic places.[34]
Dover Township was incorporated as one of New Jersey's first 104 townships by the Township Act of 1798 of the New Jersey Legislature on February 21, 1798. Portions of the township were taken to form Jackson Township (March 6, 1844), Union Township (March 10, 1846, now Barnegat Township), Brick Township (February 15, 1850), Manchester Township (April 6, 1865), Berkeley Township (March 31, 1875), Island Heights (May 6, 1887), Lavallette (December 21, 1887) and Seaside Heights (February 26, 1913).[35][36] The township's original name was for Dover, England, and was changed to Toms River Township based on a referendum passed in 2006.[37]
Brick Township is a township in Ocean CountyNew Jersey, United States. As of the 2010 United States Census, the township had a population of 75,072,[9][11][12] making it the state's 13th-largest municipality and the third most populous municipality in Ocean County (behind Lakewood Township and Toms River Township), having seen a decline of 1,047 residents (-1.4%) from its population of 76,119 in the 2000 Census, when it was the state's 12th most-populous municipality.[10]
While the majority of Brick Township is located on the mainland, Ocean Beaches I, II and III are situated on the Barnegat Peninsula, a long, narrow barrier peninsula that separates Barnegat Bay from the Atlantic Ocean.[21] The mainland and beach area of the town are not geographically adjacent. Brick Township was incorporated as a township by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on February 15, 1850, from portions of both Dover Township (now Toms River Township) and Howell Township. The township was named after Joseph Brick, the owner of Bergen Iron Works located on the Metedeconk River.[22][23] Portions of the township were taken to form Point Pleasant Beach (May 18, 1886), Bay Head (June 15, 1886), Lakewood Township (March 23, 1892), Mantoloking (April 10, 1911) and Point Pleasant (April 21, 1920).[24] In 1963, voters rejected a referendum that would have changed the township's name to "Laurelton".[25]
The Havens Homestead Museum is dedicated to the Havens family that originally settled in the Laurelton/Burrsville section of Brick. The museum is the original Havens home which lies on a small plot of farmland. The museum has a gift shop and runs tours of the property daily.[26]
After hovering for years in the top five, in 2006, the township earned the title of "America's Safest City", out of 371 cities included nationwide in the 13th annual Morgan Quitno survey.[27] Since the year 2000, Brick Township has been the safest "city" (population over 75,000) in New Jersey. In 2003 and 2004, Brick Township was ranked as the second safest city in the United States, after Newton, Massachusetts.[28] In 2005, Brick Township had dropped down to the fifth safest "city" (population over 75,000) in the United States, before it rebounded to the top in 2006.[29] In 2009, Brick Township ranked No. 6 on Newsmax magazine's list of the "Top 25 Most Uniquely American Cities and Towns," a piece written by current CBS News travel editor Peter Greenberg. In determining his ranking, Greenberg cited Brick's consistent nod as a safe city and that its "commercial development of big-box stores, department stores, and chain restaurants has made it a shopping destination for much of northern Ocean County."[30]
Brick Township has also been in the news for a claimed autism epidemic, in which 40 children out of over 6,000 surveyed were found to be autistic, though Brick's autism rate is statistically near the national average. Many of the children found to be autistic were born in Northern New Jersey and other parts of the country. There is no evidence that the levels of autism are linked to any specific environmental factor in Brick.[31] Parents of children diagnosed with autism have moved to the township in order to make use of the special education programs offered by the school district.[32]
Brick has also been home to the heroin epidemic. According to the state's statistics, in 2012 Brick was ranked sixth in the state with 550 reported incidents of heroin or opiate abuse, behind NewarkJersey CityPatersonAtlantic City and Camden. In 2017, Brick improved to 438 reported heroin abuse cases, ranked ninth in the state.[33]
During the December 2010 North American blizzard, Brick Township received 30 inches (760 mm) of snow, the highest accumulation recorded in the state.[34][35] In October 2012, parts of Brick were devastated by Hurricane Sandy. Barrier island and other waterfront properties were particularly hard hit. Homes and such buildings as the Shore Acres Yacht Club sustained major damage; some buildings had to be demolished.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the township had a total area of 32.315 square miles (83.697 km2), including 25.715 square miles (66.602 km2) of land and 6.600 square miles (17.095 km2) of water (20.42%).[1][2]
Unincorporated communities, localities and place names located partially or completely within the township include Adamston, Arrowhead Village, Breton WoodsBurrsville, Cedar Bridge, Cedarwood Park, Cherry Quay, Greenbriar, Havens Cove, Havens Point, Herbertsville, Herring Island, Lanes Mills, Laurelton, Mandalay Park, Mardells Neck, Metedeconk, Metedeconk Neck, Osbornville, Playground Beach, Riviera Beach, Seaweed Point, Shore Acres, Sloop Point, Swan Point, West Mantoloking and West Osbornville.[36]
The communities of Herbertsville and Parkway Pines are located close to exit 91 of the Garden State Parkway, near the Monmouth County border, and are geographically distant from the rest of the township.[citation needed] Bayberry Court and Maypink Lane are two streets that are not accessible from any other Brick roads, and are served by the United States Postal Service as ZIP Code 07731 with Howell Township.[citation needed]
The township borders Bay HeadLakewood TownshipMantolokingPoint Pleasant and Toms River Township in Ocean County; and the Monmouth County municipalities of BrielleHowell Township and Wall Township.[37]
Manchester Township is a township in Ocean CountyNew Jersey, United States. The township is noted for containing the Lakehurst Naval Air Station, the site of the infamous Hindenburg disaster of May 6, 1937. As of the 2010 United States Census, the township's population was 43,070,[8][9][10][11] reflecting an increase of 4,142 (+10.6%) from the 38,928 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 2,952 (+8.2%) from the 35,976 counted in the 1990 Census.[20] The 2010 population was the highest recorded in any decennial census.
Manchester Township was incorporated as a township by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on April 6, 1865, from portions of Dover Township (now Toms River Township). Portions of the township were taken to form Lakehurst on April 7, 1921.[21] The township was named by William Torrey for Manchester, England.[22][23]
According to the United States Census Bureau, the township had a total area of 82.694 square miles (214.177 km2), including 81.620 square miles (211.395 km2) of land and 1.074 square miles (2.782 km2) of water (1.30%).[1][2]
Cedar Glen Lakes (with a 2010 Census population of 1,421[24]), Cedar Glen West (1,267[25]), Crestwood Village (7,907[26]), Leisure Knoll (2,490[27]), Leisure Village West (3,493[28]), Pine Lake Park (8,707[29]) and Pine Ridge at Crestwood (2,369[30]) are all unincorporated communities and census-designated places (CDPs) located within Manchester Township.[31][32][33] Leisure Village West-Pine Lake Park had been a combined CDP through the 2000 United States Census and was split as of the 2010 enumeration.[33]
Other unincorporated communities, localities and place names located partially or completely within the township include Beckerville, Boyds Hotel, Brainards, Brick Yards, Buckingham, Giberson, Goose Pond, Horican, Keswick Grove, Old Halfway, Pasadena, Pine Lake Park Estates, Ridgeway, Roosevelt City and Whiting.[34]
The township borders Berkeley TownshipJackson TownshipLacey TownshipPlumsted Township and Toms River Township in Ocean County; and both Pemberton Township and Woodland Township in Burlington County.[35] The township completely surrounds the independent borough of Lakehurst, making it part of 21 pairs of "doughnut towns" in the state, where one municipality entirely surrounds another.[36]
Manchester's largest development, Pine Lake Park, is known for its man-made lake, Pine Lake, built in the 1970s.[37]
Point Pleasant is a borough in Ocean CountyNew Jersey, United States.[21] As of the 2010 United States Census, the borough's population was 18,392,[10][11][12] reflecting a decline of 914 (-4.7%) from the 19,306 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 1,129 (+6.2%) from the 18,177 counted in the 1990 Census.[22]
Point Pleasant was incorporated as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on April 21, 1920, from portions of Brick Township, based on the results of a referendum held on May 19, 1920. The borough was reincorporated on March 12, 1928.[23] Point Pleasant is distinct from Point Pleasant Beach, which is a separate community.[24]
The borough is a Jersey Shore community situated on the Barnegat Peninsula, a long, narrow barrier peninsula that divides the Barnegat Bay from the Atlantic Ocean at the Manasquan Inlet, and the borough derives its name from this location.[25]
Around 1500, the area that included the future Point Pleasant was the ceremonial meeting place of the Lenape Native Americans, who called it the "Land of Tall Timber". In approximately 1665, the first European settlers arrived in the area, mainly fishermen, farmers and boat builders.[24]
On February 15, 1850, Governor Daniel Haines and the New Jersey Legislature separated Ocean County from Monmouth County, and created Brick Township, including the Point Pleasant area, which became independent of Brick Township in 1920, though the post office carried the designation "West Point Pleasant" until 1956. According to the town's official website, many longtime residents still use that name. The town's first mayor was Melville B. Parker, chosen after J.H. Harvey declined the position after being elected. The town was initially a logging town, although logging was never a significant part of the local economy.[24]
In 1924, the Manasquan River-Bay Head Canal was completed as part of the inland waterway. The canal, which divides Point Pleasant in half, provides a passage for boats, and is the northern most leg of the Intracoastal Waterway which traverses the East Coast of the United States along the Atlantic Ocean between New Jersey and Florida. In 1964, Senator Clifford Case introduced legislation that changed the canal's name to the Point Pleasant Canal.[24]
Though often regarded as a summer resort, the borough's website emphasizes that it is a "year round community of approximately 19,000 residents".[24]
