Hazlet Township is a 5.7-square-mile Monmouth County community in the Bayshore area. Its municipal footprint is distinct from neighboring Aberdeen, Holmdel, Keansburg, Keyport, Middletown and Union Beach, so NJTGO uses township boundaries rather than nearby mailing labels when placing businesses and community resources.
