Ocean Township is a township in Ocean County, New Jersey, United States. As of the 2010 United States Census, the township's population was 8,332,〔〔〔 reflecting an increase of 1,882 (+29.2%) from the 6,450 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 1,034 (+19.1%) from the 5,416 counted in the 1990 Census.〔(Table 7. Population for the Counties and Municipalities in New Jersey: 1990, 2000 and 2010 ), New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development, February 2011. Accessed December 30, 2012.〕 The 2010 population was the highest recorded in any decennial census.
==History==
Ocean Township was incorporated as a township by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on April 13, 1876, from portions of both Lacey Township and Union Township (now Barnegat Township). Portions of the township were taken to create Long Beach Township (March 23, 1899) and Island Beach (June 23, 1933; dissolved in 1965 and absorbed into Berkeley Township).〔Snyder, John P. (''The Story of New Jersey's Civil Boundaries: 1606-1968'' ), Bureau of Geology and Topography; Trenton, New Jersey; 1969. p. 204. Accessed October 23, 2012.〕 The township derives its name from its seaside location.〔Hutchinson, Viola L. (''The Origin of New Jersey Place Names'' ), New Jersey Public Library Commission, May 1945. Accessed September 13, 2015.〕
All of Ocean Township is commonly referred to as "Waretown" by local residents.〔Riley, Michael. ("WARETOWN It's all in the name" ), ''Asbury Park Press'', May 6, 2005. Accessed December 30, 2012. "OFFICIALLY, the name of this community of 7,400 residents is Ocean Township.... People who arrive there from Exit 69 of the Garden State Parkway know the place as Waretown, which is what the original settlers called the village when they named it after their leader, whose name, incidentally, was Abraham Waier, not Abraham Ware."〕〔Staff. ("Ocean mayor visits other Ocean" ). Asbury Park Press. November 21, 2006.〕 The local custom is so widespread that it surprises some new residents that the official name is Ocean Township. Non-residents have been known to confuse Ocean Township with the Ocean Township of Monmouth County. There was a petition drive in 2006 to get a name change to Township of Waretown on the ballot but it failed to obtain enough signatures to get on the ballot.〔("Waretown activist plans to try again." ), ''Ocean County Observer'', August 22, 2006.〕
