Middletown: Monmouth County's Largest Township and Sandy Hook Approach
Middletown Township covers 59 square miles in Monmouth County, making it one of the largest townships by area in New Jersey. The population exceeds 65,000. It was one of the earliest English settlements in the state, established by Baptists from Long Island in 1664, and is listed in the original Monmouth Patent granted that same year.
The township forms the land approach to Sandy Hook, the six-mile barrier peninsula at the entrance to New York Harbor that today forms part of the Gateway National Recreation Area. Fort Hancock, decommissioned in 1974, sits at the northern tip of Sandy Hook; its coast artillery batteries defended New York Harbor through both world wars. The Sandy Hook Lighthouse, built in 1764, is the oldest working lighthouse in the United States.
Middletown contains a string of distinct unincorporated communities including Belford, Leonardo, Lincroft, Navesink, and Port Monmouth. The Henry Hudson Trail, a paved rail-trail, runs through the township connecting several of these hamlets. Seastreak operates high-speed ferries from Belford to Manhattan.
