ColtsNeek, the Phalanx and a 1960s rename.
Records from 1676 describe the sale of 205 acres called “ColtsNeek” to Henry Leonard. Horses have been bred here since the 1700s. During the Revolution, the Colts Neck Tavern stood near the action around the Battle of Monmouth, and local militia captain Joshua Huddy became a Patriot hero.
The township was formed on February 18, 1847, as Atlantic Township, and voters renamed it Colts Neck on November 6, 1962. From 1843 to 1856 the North American Phalanx, a utopian community, farmed here. Bucks Mill was built in 1854, and Laird & Company has distilled applejack in Scobeyville for generations.
Suburban homes arrived in the 1980s, but on big lots. The township has preserved nearly 1,000 acres of farmland, and its villages still carry the old names: Bucks Mill, Hominy Hill, Montrose, Phalanx, Scobeyville and Swimming River.
