The site of the historic Battle of Monmouth in 1778, Manalapan is located on the western edge of Monmouth County. Today the battlefield serves as a state park and hosts historical re-enactments throughout the year.
Situated conveniently near New York, Philadelphia and the Shore, Manalapan is also the home of the well-known Englishtown Auction Sales and the Monmouth County Library Headquarters, a first-class facility that offers a wealth of educational resources and cultural activities.
The township is also known for its sprawling recreation complex, its top-rated schools and growing community theater activities. The annual Manalapan Day offers a variety of activities for all ages.
