Howell Township is a township in Monmouth County, New Jersey, covering a large area that makes it the biggest municipality in the county by total land size. The landscape includes residential neighborhoods, open spaces, and several bodies of water that shape the local environment.
History
The township was officially established by the New Jersey Legislature on February 23, 1801, after separating from the original Shrewsbury Township. This formation was part of the broader administrative reorganization of the region during the early 1800s.
