Marlboro New Jersey Information
Marlboro Township was 150 years old on February 17, 1998. On that date in 1848, by an act of the State Legislature, Marlboro became an independent political entity. Earlier, it had been part of Freehold Township ever since English, Scottish, and Dutch settlers established the first farms in the 1600s.
The Marlboro Township Historic Commission, along with the Department of Recreation and the Department of Community Affairs, are sponsoring a number of events throughout this year to commemorate the 150th Anniversary.
Largely unknown to most of its current residents, Marlboro’s history is a chronicle that is rich in tradition. In fact, its history might be called typical of the growth of the nation outside the large cities. From the earliest settlements until fairly recently, Marlboro was a rural community composed of a number of small hamlets with names like Morganville, Robertsville, Wickatunk, Bradevelt, Topanemus, Hillsdale, Montrose, and Pleasant Valley. Although they each had small inns or taverns, the hub of activity centered around what is still referred to today as Marlboro Village. This is the area around the intersection of Main Street (Route 79) and School Road. Read More on Marlboro New Jersey
