Clark Township, New Jersey Relocation Guide

The Township of Clark, New Jersey, is the product of many years of social, economic and political change. Established from Lenape Indian Hunting Grounds, a crossroad of the American Revolution. The community would develop into an agricultural paradise that enabled many European immigrants to strive for the American Dream.

The town in its early years was a small quiet farm community, but as the years went by Clark Township would slowly change. In the early part of the century, large farms were slowly being sub-divided into smaller track farms. It was not until State Highway No. 4, present day Garden State Parkway, cut the town in half, that the community witnessed massive change. Many farmers facing economic changes as well as the need for the housing shortage of post World War II began to sell their land to housing developers. It is these land developers who in a period of 40 years,1949 to 1989, changed the appearance of Clark Township, from a community of wide open land to a town with numerous housing developments and business centers.

What initially drew the people to Clark Township was its proximity to the water. Just a short drive in the car will bring you to the New Jersey Shore. Here one can enjoy fishing and crabbing, tennis courts, basketball courts, playgrounds, parks, a number of summer sports camps, many fine restaurants and shops and family activities.

Beautiful homes and gardens predominate, both in housing developments, many of them located on the estates of former millionaires, to small country estates. New construction, residential, commercial and industrial, is constant. The lure of the area, with its many lakes and woods, dates to its days as an Indian territory. It is a very active community and a sense of community pride is evident. The housing is suitable for the most demanding buyers. There are some apartments for rent in this region too, but Clark Township tends to have more single-family homes, and has geared itself towards families, and couples. For people looking to escape the rat race of life, Clark Township is the first choice. Homes sell in the region of $200,000 and up, which for this region is reasonable.

Clark Township is ideally located, far enough away that you can escape the hustle and bustle of a large city and be surrounded by the peace and quiet of the country. Clark Township is a growing, thriving community of professional people who would love nothing more than to welcome you to their town.
