About Marlboro 

Marlboro is located less than 20 miles for the New Jersey Shore and even closer to business hubs of New Brunswick and Hightstown. It no longer has any real town center and can be considered an example of suburban sprawl. The major thoroughfares are Route 9, Route 79 and Route 18. Marlboro has become a destination for families and has a strong Township sponsored recreation program, featuring soccer and basketball leagues. In 2007 Marlboro introduced monthly indoor concerts at the Recreation Center. These shows are geared towards teens and high school students. Marlboro is also home to Marlboro Players, a private theater group that holds open auditions for background roles.

The Lenni Lenape Native Americans were the first inhabitants of Marlboro and the history of the township goes back to 1685 when the land was first settled by farmers. It was originally named Marlborough and then at some point was shortened. Morganville exists as a section of Marlboro with its own zip code. Up until the 1970’s Marlboro remained largely rural but quickly became a growing destination for people working in New York City. During the 1980’s and 1990’s most of the new housing developments featured four or five bedroom houses, but then the trend turned to larger estate homes – sometimes called “McMansions”. Many of the newcomers to Marlboro migrated from Brooklyn and Staten Island.

CNN and Money Magazine have selected Marlboro as one of the top 10 safest places to live and as one of the top 100 places to live in America. 

The Marlboro Public Schools serve students in pre-Kindergarten through eighth grade. Marlboro Township has a public high school: Marlboro High School which is part of the Freehold Regional High School District serving grades 9-12.
