Manalapan, New Jersey

Manalapan Township combines suburban neighborhoods, Route 9 and Route 33 shopping and dining, preserved farmland, active recreation and one of New Jersey’s most important Revolutionary War landscapes. Englishtown Borough is a separate municipality entirely surrounded by Manalapan, so NJTGO treats the two communities separately.
