Manchester Township is a township in Ocean County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. The township is noted for containing the Lakehurst Naval Air Station, the site of the infamous Hindenburg disaster of May 6, 1937. As of the 2020 United States census, the township's population was 45,115,[7][8] the highest recorded in any decennial count and an increase of 2,045 (+4.7%) from the 2010 census count of 43,070,[17][18] which in turn reflected an increase of 4,142 (+10.6%) from the 38,928 counted in the 2000 census.[19]
Manchester Township was incorporated as a township by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on April 6, 1865, from portions of Dover Township (now Toms River Township). The township was named by William Torrey for Manchester, England.[20][21] Portions of the township were taken to form Lakehurst on April 7, 1921.[22]
