Howell Township was created as a township through an act of the New Jersey Legislature dated February 23, 1801, using portions of Shrewsbury Township. Parts of the township were used to create Brick Township in Ocean County (February 15, 1850), Wall Township, March 7, 1851, and Farmingdale (April 8 1903). Richard Howell was the third Governor in New Jersey and was the township’s name.
