Mantua Township

Mantua Township is an administrative township in southwestern New Jersey with residential neighborhoods and public facilities spread across its landscape. The township covers approximately 16 square miles and serves a settled population through local government offices.

The township was established in 1853 when it separated from Greenwich Township, with its name possibly derived from Mantua in Italy or a Lenape group. This origin shaped how the area developed as a local administrative unit.

The community gathers at schools and local centers that shape neighborhood connections and daily routines. These meeting places reflect how residents build and maintain their social ties together.

Visitors can access municipal offices and local services located at central points throughout the township. Public facilities are generally reachable by car and operate during standard business hours for most administrative needs.

Tall Pines State Preserve lies within township boundaries as the county's first protected natural area. This woodland reserve offers residents and visitors a place to walk among trees and experience local ecosystems.
