Howell

The Township of Howell, located in south-central Monmouth County, has a land area of 62.10 square miles, making it the largest municipality in the county with a population of 52,400. Residential development in this area began in the 1960’s and has exploded in recent decades, as has commercial development along Route 9. With access to Route 9, Route 195 and the Garden State Parkway, this centrally located municipality is one of the fastest growing townships in Monmouth County today. Open space remains, though, thanks to actively farmed lands, the Howell Park golf coruse and the Manasquan Reservoir park.
