Matawan (/mætəwɑːn/) is a borough in Monmouth County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. A historic community located near the Raritan Bay in the much larger Raritan Valley region, the borough is a commuter town of New York City within the New York Metropolitan Area.[20] As of the 2020 United States census, the borough’s population was 9,565,[10][11] an increase of 755 (+8.6%) from the 2010 census count of 8,810,[21][22] which in turn reflected a decline of 100 (−1.1%) from the 8,910 counted in the 2000 census.[23]
The Lenape Native Americans called the area “Mechananienk“, which gave rise to the area being called “Matovancons” by Dutch settlers, from which derives the name “Matawan”.
The 2010 United States census counted 8,810 people, 3,358 households, and 2,280 families in the borough. The population density was 3,896.6 per square mile (1,504.5/km2).
Matawan was ranked by BusinessWeek magazine at #12 in the nation on their list of “The 50 Best Places to Raise Your Kids” in November 2007.[52]
