Ocean Township is a township in Ocean County, New Jersey, United States. As of the 2010 United States Census, the township's population was 8,332,[10][11][12] reflecting an increase of 1,882 (+29.2%) from the 6,450 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 1,034 (+19.1%) from the 5,416 counted in the 1990 Census.[20] The 2010 population was the highest recorded in any decennial census.

History

Ocean Township was incorporated as a township by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on April 13, 1876, from portions of both Lacey Township and Union Township (now Barnegat Township). Portions of the township were taken to create Long Beach Township (March 23, 1899) and Island Beach (June 23, 1933; dissolved in 1965 and absorbed into Berkeley Township).[21] The township derives its name from its seaside location.[22]

All of Ocean Township is commonly referred to as "Waretown" by local residents.[23][24] The local custom is so widespread that it surprises some new residents that the official name is Ocean Township. Non-residents have been known to confuse Ocean Township with the Ocean Township of Monmouth County. There was a petition drive in 2006 to get a name change to Township of Waretown on the ballot but it failed to obtain enough signatures to get on the ballot.[25]

Geography

According to the United States Census Bureau, the township had a total area of 32.044 square miles (82.993 km2), including 20.555 square miles (53.238 km2) of land and 11.489 square miles (29.756 km2) of water (35.85%).[1][2]

Waretown (with a 2010 Census population of 1,569[26]) is a unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) located within Ocean Township.[27][28][29]

Other unincorporated communities, localities and place names located partially or completely within the township include Brookville, Barnegat Beach, Daniels Bridge, Waretown Junction, Wells Mills and West Point Island.[30]

The township borders the Ocean County municipalities of Barnegat Light, Barnegat Township, Berkeley Township, Lacey Township and Long Beach Township.[31]

The township is one of 56 South Jersey municipalities that are included within the New Jersey Pinelands National Reserve, a protected natural area of unique ecology covering 1,100,000 acres (450,000 ha), that has been classified as a United States Biosphere Reserve and established by Congress in 1978 as the nation's first National Reserve.[32] All of the township is included in either the state-designated Pinelands Area or the Pinelands National Reserve, which includes portions of Burlington County, along with areas in Atlantic, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester and Ocean counties.[33]
