The township was incorporated by New Jersey Legislature's Township Act of 1798 on February 21, 1798, as one of New Jersey's original group of 104 townships. A portion of the township was taken in 1878 and annexed by Quinton Township.[19] The township's name derives from the Lenape deity, variously spelled as Maneto or Manito.[20][21][22]

As a dry town, the sale of alcohol is not legally permitted.[23][24]

Among the oldest buildings are Barrett's Plantation House and the Salem County Insane Asylum.
