Lakewood Township, New Jersey

Lakewood Township is the most populous township in Ocean County, New Jersey, United States. A rapidly growing community, as of the 2020 United States Census, the township had a total population of 135,158[21][11][13] representing an increase of 41,415 (+45.5%) from the 92,843 counted in the 2010 Census.[12] The township ranked as the fifth-most-populous municipality in the state in 2020,[22] after having been ranked 7th in 2010 and 22nd in 2000.[23] The sharp increase in population from 2000 to 2010 was led by increases in the township’s Orthodox Jewish and Latino communities.[24]

Lakewood is a hub of Orthodox Judaism, and is home to Beth Medrash Govoha (BMG), the largest yeshiva outside of Israel.[25] The large Orthodox population, which comprises more than half the township’s population, strongly influences the township’s culture[25][26] and wields considerable political clout in the township as a voting bloc.[27][28][29]

The earliest documented European settlement of the present Lakewood area was by operators of sawmills, from about 1750 forward. One such sawmill—located at the east end of the present Lake Carasaljo—was known as Three Partners Mill from at least 1789 until at least 1814. From 1815 until 1818, in the same area, Jesse Richards had an iron-smelting operation known as Washington Furnace, using the local bog iron ore. The ironworks were revived in 1833 by Joseph W. Brick, who named the business Bergen Iron Works, which also became the name of the accompanying town. In 1865, the town was renamed Bricksburg in 1865, and in 1880, it was renamed Lakewood and became a fashionable winter resort.
