Manalapan Township was formed by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 9, 1848, from portions of Freehold Township. Englishtown was formed as a borough from portions of Manalapan on January 4, 1888, based on the results of a referendum held the previous day.[25]

The township completely surrounds Englishtown, making it part of 21 pairs of "doughnut towns" in the state, where one municipality entirely surrounds another.[26] The township borders Freehold Township, Millstone Township, Marlboro Township in Monmouth County, and Old Bridge Township and Monroe Township in Middlesex County.[27]
