Farmingdale

A compact Monmouth County borough with a walkable Main Street, local dining, independent businesses and a strong small-town identity.

Farmingdale was incorporated as a borough in 1903 from Howell Township. The borough is a very small municipality surrounded by Howell Township, so NJTGO treats the municipal line—not the broader 07727 mailing area—as the boundary for Farmingdale listings.
