History
Wall Township was carved out of Howell Township in 1851 and named after U.S. Senator Garret Dorset Wall. It originally ran from the Shark River to the Manasquan River and the full width of the county to the Atlantic — several present-day shore towns, including Belmar, Manasquan and Spring Lake, were once part of it before splitting off.
