Middletown Township

Middletown Township extends along the Raritan Bay, covering an area with varied landscapes and reaching an elevation of 42 meters above sea level.

The township started as small settlements of Lenape Navesink tribes until Henry Hudson's arrival in 1609, leading to English control in 1664.

The World Trade Center Memorial Gardens stands as a testament to the 37 residents who perished during the September 11, 2001 attacks.

The township maintains one of the largest volunteer fire departments in the nation, with 500 volunteers distributed across eleven fire companies.

Naval Weapons Station Earle features a 2.9-mile finger pier extending into the water, ranking as the second-longest such structure globally.
