Brick Township (also commonly known as Bricktown or Brick) is a township in Ocean County, New Jersey, United States. As of the 2010 United States Census, the township had a population of 75,072,〔〔〔 making it the state's 13th-largest municipality and the third most populous municipality in Ocean County (behind Lakewood Township and Toms River Township), having seen a decline of 1,047 residents (-1.4%) from its population of 76,119 in the 2000 Census, when it was the state's 12th most-populous municipality.〔(The Counties and Most Populous Cities and Townships in 2010 in New Jersey: 2000 and 2010 ), United States Census Bureau. Accessed March 15, 2012.〕
While the majority of Brick Township is located on the mainland, Ocean Beaches I, II and III are situated on the Barnegat Peninsula, a long, narrow barrier peninsula that separates Barnegat Bay from the Atlantic Ocean.〔Cullinane, Bob. ("Brick Beaches" ), ''Asbury Park Press'', July 28, 2002. Accessed January 22, 2012. ""There are three public access beaches in Brick (Ocean Beach I, Ocean Beach II, Ocean Beach III) that, in total, cover about a half-mile. These should not be confused with Ocean Beach, a section of Dover Township, just south of Brick's Ocean Beaches. Got it?"〕 The mainland and beach area of the town are not geographically adjacent. Brick Township was incorporated as a township by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on February 15, 1850, from portions of both Dover Township (now Toms River Township) and Howell Township. The township was named after Joseph Brick, the owner of Bergen Iron Works located on the Metedeconk River.〔Donatiello, Gene. ("Who is Joseph Woolston Brick?" ), Brick Township Historical Society. Accessed February 19, 2013. "The new township was named after its most prominent citizen Joseph Woolston Brick. Joseph W. Brick was the industrious and successful owner of Bergen Iron Works."〕〔Hutchinson, Viola L. (''The Origin of New Jersey Place Names'' ), New Jersey Public Library Commission, May 1945. Accessed August 27, 2015.〕 Portions of the township were taken to form Point Pleasant Beach (May 18, 1886), Bay Head (June 15, 1886), Lakewood Township (March 23, 1892), Mantoloking (April 10, 1911) and Point Pleasant (April 21, 1920).〔Snyder, John P. (''The Story of New Jersey's Civil Boundaries: 1606-1968'' ), Bureau of Geology and Topography; Trenton, New Jersey; 1969. p. 201. Accessed January 22, 2012.〕 In 1963, voters rejected a referendum that would have changed the township's name to "Laurelton".〔Wright, George Cable. ("JERSEY AROUSED BY REFERENDUMS; Some Ballots on Tuesday to List Nine Questions" ), ''The New York Times'', November 3, 1963. Accessed July 5, 2012. "Brick Township will become Laurelton, as it was known in 1904, if a local referendum is adopted. The change to Brick was made just before the Civil War when bricklayers formed an influential segment of the local population."〕
The Havens Homestead Museum is dedicated to the Havens family that originally settled in the Laurelton/Burrsville section of Brick. The museum is the original Havens home which lies on a small plot of farmland. The museum has a gift shop and runs tours of the property daily.〔(Henry Harry "Clay" Havens ), Brick Township Historical Society. Accessed January 22, 2013.〕
After hovering for years in the top five, in 2006, the township earned the title of "America's Safest City", out of 371 cities included nationwide in the 13th annual Morgan Quitno survey.〔(13th Annual Safest (and Most Dangerous) Cities: Top and Bottom 25 Cities Overall ), accessed October 30, 2006.〕 Since the year 2000, Brick Township has been the safest "city" (population over 75,000) in New Jersey. In 2003 and 2004, Brick Township was ranked as the second safest city in the United States after Newton, Massachusetts.〔(11th Annual Safest (and Most Dangerous) Cities: Top and Bottom 25 Cities Overall ), accessed June 4, 2006.〕 In 2005, Brick Township had dropped down to the fifth safest "city" (population over 75,000) in the United States, before it rebounded to the top in 2006.〔(12th Annual Safest (and Most Dangerous) Cities: Top and Bottom 25 Cities Overall ), accessed June 4, 2006.〕 In 2009, Brick Township ranked No. 6 on ''Newsmax'' magazine's list of the "Top 25 Most Uniquely American Cities and Towns," a piece written by current CBS News travel editor Peter Greenberg. In determining his ranking, Greenberg cited Brick's consistent nod as a safe city and that its "commercial development of big-box stores, department stores, and chain restaurants has made it a shopping destination for much of northern Ocean County.
Brick Township has also been in the news for a claimed autism epidemic, in which 40 children out of over 6,000 surveyed were found to be autistic, though Brick's autism rate is statistically not far removed from national average. Many of the children found to be autistic were born in Northern New Jersey and other parts of the country. There is no evidence that the levels of autism are linked to any specific environmental factor in Brick.〔Bertrand, et al. ("Prevalence of Autism in a United States Population: The Brick Township, New Jersey, Investigation" ). ''Pediatrics'' Journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics, November 5, 2001. Accessed January 20, 2013. "CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of autism in Brick Township seems to be higher than that in other studies, particularly studies conducted in the United States, but within the range of a few recent studies in smaller populations that used more thorough case-finding methods."〕 Parents of children diagnosed with autism have moved to the township in order to make use of the special education programs offered by the school district.〔Nee, Daniel. ("As Federal Report on Autism is Released, Brick School Officials Wish Funding Promises Were Kept" ), January 24, 2011. Accessed January 20, 2013. "Still, Hrycenko and Magovern agreed that the noted program in Brick is necessary, despite a lack of assistance from outside sources. 'There's no doubt about it,' said Magovern. 'Especially in the autistic population, a lot of people move here because we provide those services in the district.'"〕
Brick has also been home to the Heroin epidemic. According to the state's statistics, in 2012 Brick was ranked sixth in the state with 550 reported incidents of heroin or opiate abuse, behind Newark, Jersey City, Paterson, Atlantic City, and Camden. Brick had .〔Davis, Tom. ("Marlboro Among 45 New Jersey Towns With The Most Heroin And Opiate Abuse; The death of actor Philip Seymour Hoffman reinforced how much heroin is plaguing all parts of America. Lower Township, once ranked by New Jersey Monthly magazine as the 34th best place to live, just 30 miles from Ocean City, is on the list." ), Marlboro-Coltsneck Patch, February 7, 2014. Accessed August 27, 2015.〕
During the December 2010 North American blizzard, Brick Township received of snow, the highest accumulation recorded in the state.〔Nierenberg, Larry. ("Winter Storms" ), ''Storm Spotter's Newsletter'', National Weather Service, Mount Holly, New Jersey, Volume 3, Issue 4, Spring 2011, pp. 2-3. Accessed February 19, 2013. "A strong Nor'easter system impacted the Middle Atlantic region starting early Sunday morning December 26th and ending on Monday December 27th.... Numerous locations along the New Jersey coast received 20 inch or higher amounts, with the greatest snowfall measurement of 30 inches taken in Brick Township in New Jersey."〕〔O'Reilly, David; Katz, Matt; and Simon, Darran. ("Not a blizzard, but snowfall was one for the books" ), ''The Philadelphia Inquirer'', December 28, 2010. Accessed February 6, 2013. "Coming in from the south on winds that gusted as high as 62 m.p.h. at Wilmington's airport, the storm left accumulations of just two to six inches to the north of the city, but dropped 26 inches on parts of Cape May County, piled 30 inches on Brick Township, Ocean County, and paralyzed New York City and much of New England."〕 In October 2012, parts of Brick were devastated by Hurricane Sandy. Barrier island and other waterfront properties were particularly hard hit. Homes and such buildings as the Shore Acres Yacht Club sustained major damage; some buildings had to be demolished.
