Freehold Township covers about 38.7 square miles of inland Monmouth County and was established in 1693 as one of the county's three original townships. It completely surrounds Freehold Borough, a separate town with its own downtown on Main Street, and the two share the 07728 ZIP code, so check the town on any property record.

Route 9 and Route 33 are the main roads, with the Freehold Raceway Mall, CentraState Medical Center on West Main Street, and NJ TRANSIT buses to the Port Authority in Manhattan. The township runs 14 parks, and Turkey Swamp Park, part of Monmouth Battlefield State Park and Battleview Orchards, in the Applegate family since 1908, are also here.
