About Mannington
At a glance. Mannington is a Salem County township of 1,475 people (2020 census) covering 38.4 square miles. The Salem River forms its northern and western boundaries. Town hall is at 491 Route 45.
History. The township was first called East Fenwick. The name Mannington comes from a Lenape deity, spelled Maneto or Manito. It was incorporated in 1798 as one of New Jersey's original 104 townships.
Places to know. Mannington Meadows is a 6,000-acre complex of wetlands and tidal waters. Farming is the main use of land, and the township says it has preserved more than half of its land. It also says there is not one stoplight within its borders.
Schools. Mannington Township Elementary School teaches pre-kindergarten through eighth grade.
Selling a home. New Jersey requires a certificate for working smoke alarms, carbon monoxide alarms and a portable fire extinguisher before a one- or two-family home gets a new owner or tenant. Ask the Mannington Township construction office whether anything else is checked before a sale. Rules change, so check with the town before listing.
