Manchester Township was incorporated as a township by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on April 6, 1865, from portions of Dover Township (now Toms River Township). Portions of the township were taken to form Lakehurst on April 7, 1921.[20] The township was named by William Torrey for Manchester, England.[21][22]

Local government
Manchester Township is governed within the Faulkner Act, formally known as the Optional Municipal Charter Law, under the Mayor-Council (Plan 6) system of municipal government, as enacted by direct petition as of July 1, 1990.[48] The Township is governed by a Mayor and a five-member Township Council. The mayor is elected directly by the voters to a four-year term. Councilmembers are elected at-large on a non-partisan basis to serve four-year staggered terms with either two or three council seats up for election every other year, with the mayoral seat up for vote at the same time that two council seats are up for vote.[3] The township's municipal elections were shifted from May to November, with estimates of savings of $50,000 each election cycle and greater voter participation cited as justifications.[49][50] A referendum on the ballot in November 2011 to shift the election date passed by a margin of 5,875 to 3,429.[51]
As of 2015, the Mayor of Manchester Township is Ken Palmer, whose term of office ends on December 31, 2018.[52] Members of the Township Council are Council President Brendan Weiner (2018), Council Vice President James A.

Wolfe (R, Brick Township).[68] The Governor of New Jersey is Chris Christie (R, Mendham Township).[69] The Lieutenant Governor of New Jersey is Kim Guadagno (R, Monmouth Beach).[70]
Ocean County is governed by a Board of Chosen Freeholders consisting of five members, elected on an at-large basis in partisan elections and serving staggered three-year terms of office, with either one or two seats coming up for election each year as part of the November general election.[71] At an annual reorganization held in the beginning of January, the board chooses a Director and a Deputy Director from among its members. As of 2015, Ocean County's Freeholders (with party affiliation, term-end year, residence and department directorship listed in parentheses) are Freeholder Director John C.
