Manasquan is a borough in Monmouth County, New Jersey, United States. As of the 2010 United States Census, the borough's population was 5,897,[9][10][11] reflecting a decline of 413 (-6.5%) from the 6,310 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 941 (+17.5%) from the 5,369 counted in the 1990 Census.[20]

The borough's name is of Lenape origin, variously described as deriving from "Man-A-Squaw-Han" meaning "stream of the island of squaws",[21] "an island with enclosure for squans",[22] "island door"[23] or "point" / "top".[24] Manasquan, Maniquan, Mannisquan, Manasquam, Squan, and Squan Village are variations on the original pronunciation and spelling.

Manasquan was formed as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on December 30, 1887, from portions of Wall Township, based on the results of a referendum held the previous day.[25]

New Jersey Monthly magazine ranked Manasquan as its 22nd best place to live in its 2008 rankings of the "Best Places To Live" in New Jersey.[26]

Government

Manasquan Borough Hall, at the intersection of Main Street and Union Avenue

Manasquan is governed under the Borough form of New Jersey municipal government. The governing body consists of a Mayor and a Borough Council comprising six council members, with all positions elected at-large on a partisan basis as part of the November general election. A Mayor is elected directly by the voters to a four-year term of office. The Borough Council consists of six members elected to serve three-year terms on a staggered basis, with two seats coming up for election each year in a three-year cycle.[3] The Borough form of government used by Manasquan, the most common system used in the state, is a "weak mayor / strong council" government in which council members act as the legislative body with the mayor presiding at meetings and voting only in the event of a tie. The mayor can veto ordinances subject to an override by a two-thirds majority vote of the council. The mayor makes committee and liaison assignments for council members, and most appointments are made by the mayor with the advice and consent of the council.[37][38]

As of 2016, the Mayor of the Borough of Manasquan is Democrat Edward G. Donovan, whose term of office ends December 31, 2019. Members of the Borough Council are Jeffrey K. Lee (D, 2017), Michael W. Mangan (D, 2017), Owen McCarthy (D, 2016), Gregg Olivera (R, 2018), Richard Read (D, 2016; appointed to serve an unexpired term) and James Walsh (D, 2018).[4][39][40][41][42][43]

In January 2016, the Borough Council appointed Richard Read to fill the council seat expiring in December 2016 that became vacant when Edward Donovan was sworn in as mayor.[44]

Federal, state, and county representation

Manasquan is located in the 4th Congressional District[45] and is part of New Jersey's 30th state legislative district.[10][46][47] Prior to the 2011 reapportionment following the 2010 Census, Manasquan had been in the 10th state legislative district.[48]

New Jersey's Fourth Congressional District is represented by Christopher Smith (R).[49] New Jersey is represented in the United States Senate by Cory Booker (D, Newark, term ends 2021)[50] and Bob Menendez (D, Paramus, 2019).[51][52]

For the 2016–2017 session (Senate, General Assembly), the 30th Legislative District of the New Jersey Legislature is represented in the State Senate by Robert Singer (R, Lakewood Township) and in the General Assembly by Sean T. Kean (R, Wall Township) and Dave Rible (R, Wall Township).[53] The Governor of New Jersey is Chris Christie (R, Mendham Township).[54] The Lieutenant Governor of New Jersey is Kim Guadagno (R, Monmouth Beach).[55]

Monmouth County is governed by a Board of Chosen Freeholders consisting of five members who are elected at-large to serve three year terms of office on a staggered basis, with either one or two seats up for election each year as part of the November general election. At an annual reorganization meeting held in the beginning of January, the board selects one of its members to serve as Director and another as Deputy Director.[56] As of 2014, Monmouth County's Freeholders are Freeholder Director Lillian G. Burry (R, Colts Neck Township; term ends December 31, 2014),[57] Freeholder Deputy Director Gary J. Rich, Sr. (R, Spring Lake; 2014),[58] Thomas A. Arnone (R, Neptune City; 2016),[59] John P.

Community

The Manasquan Boardwalk is largely quiet after Labor Day, as seen in this comparative shot facing north, taken in mid-July (left) and late September (right).

Due to its location bordering the Atlantic Ocean, the population of Manasquan increases dramatically in the summer months as tourists flock to the beach.

The Manasquan Inlet provides surfers with waves that are corralled, refracted and enlarged by the jetty protruding out into the Atlantic Ocean. The Manasquan Inlet, reopened in 1931, is the northern terminus of the inland portion of the Intracoastal Waterway.[74]

Manasquan has a downtown area with many small businesses. Algonquin Arts Theatre has shows and movies that play throughout the year. It is a historic 540-seat theatre, built in 1938 as a movie house but converted to a professional live performance space in May 1994.[75][76]

The demolition of traditional beach bungalows and their replacement with much larger single-family dwellings has helped turn Manasquan into a year-round community.[77] The decrease in tourism and rise in residency can be attributed to the decline of once popular tourist destinations. Manasquan no longer has a 24-hour diner or a miniature golf course, and has lost many of the bars once located in its borders. During the summer months, the local bar and party scene overwhelm the area between Brielle Road and Main Street from the bridges to the ocean, especially with local bars - Leggetts and The Osprey - contributing greatly to the amount of party goers in the town.

The Firemans' Fair occurs every July/August. The fair is the largest source of funds for Manasquan Volunteer Engine Company #2 and dates back to 1974.Though it was on a decade-long hiatus until the late 1990s, the five day-long festivities in 2011 were expected to draw 30,000 attendees.[78][79]

Manasquan was home to the Cat Fanciers' Association (CFA), the largest registry of pedigreed cats in the world, until 2010.[80]

Transportation

Roads and highways

As of May 2010, the borough had a total of 27.22 miles (43.81 km) of roadways, of which 24.56 miles (39.53 km) were maintained by the municipality, 1.56 miles (2.51 km) by Monmouth County and 1.10 miles (1.77 km) by the New Jersey Department of Transportation.[81]

The Garden State Parkway is the nearest major highway. Route 71 runs through the borough.

Public transportation

New Jersey Transit offers rail service at the Manasquan station[82] on the North Jersey Coast Line.[83] Passengers can travel south to Point Pleasant Beach and Bay Head or north to points such as Belmar, Long Branch, Newark, Hoboken Terminal and Penn Station in Midtown Manhattan.

New Jersey Transit provides bus transportation between Manasquan and Philadelphia on the 317 route and local service on the 830 route.[84]

Education

The Manasquan Public Schools serves students from Kindergarten through twelfth grade. As of the 2011-12 school year, the district's two schools had an enrollment of 1,697 students and 123.6 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 13.73:1.[85] Schools in the district (with 2011-12 enrollment data from the National Center for Education Statistics[86]) are Manasquan Elementary School[87] with 678 students in grades K-8 and Manasquan High School[88] with 1,019 students in grades 9-12.[89] In addition to students from Manasquan, the district's high school also serves public school students from Avon-by-the-Sea, Belmar, Brielle, Lake Como, Sea Girt, Spring Lake, and Spring Lake Heights, who attend Manasquan High School as part of sending/receiving relationships with their respective districts.[90][91][92] The two Manasquan public school buildings are across from each other on Broad Street, with Board of Education offices next door to the high school.[93]

The Roman Catholic-affiliated St. Denis School served youth from pre-school through 8th grade under the auspices of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Trenton. In 2014, the diocese announced that the school was closing at the end of the 2014-15 school year, as fewer students were attending, with enrollment having fallen from a peak of nearly 400 in the 1970s to 107 in 2014.[94]
