Lakewood: Ocean County's Fastest-Growing Township
Lakewood Township has become one of the fastest-growing municipalities in New Jersey over the past two decades, with a population that has more than doubled since 2000 to approximately 102,000, though Census-designated figures for the parsed tract show roughly 54,000. The township is home to Beth Medrash Govoha, the largest yeshiva in the United States outside Israel, which enrolls more than 8,000 students and serves as the religious and educational anchor of one of the largest Orthodox Jewish communities in the country.
The township once functioned as a Gilded Age resort, with Grover Cleveland and John D. Rockefeller among the prominent visitors who built estates along Lake Carasaljo. Georgian Court University, a Catholic liberal arts institution founded in 1908, occupies one of those former estates including the Jay Gould mansion and a cluster of historic buildings around a classical garden.
Route 9 serves as the main commercial corridor and connects Lakewood to Freehold to the north and Toms River to the south. The Kimball Medical Center, part of RWJBarnabas Health, is the primary hospital serving the area.
