Barnegat Township is a township in Ocean County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. As of the 2020 United States census, the township's population was 24,296,[8][9] the highest ever count at a decennial census and an increase of 3,360 (+16.0%) from the 2010 census count of 20,936,[18][19] which in turn reflected an increase of 5,666 (+37.1%) from the 15,270 counted in the 2000 census.[20]
What is now Barnegat Township was originally incorporated as Union Township on March 10, 1846, from portions of both Dover Township (now Toms River Township) and Stafford Township, while the area was still part of Monmouth County. It became part of the newly formed Ocean County on February 15, 1850. Portions of the township were taken to form Lacey Township (March 23, 1871), Ocean Township (April 13, 1876), Harvey Cedars (December 13, 1894) and Long Beach Township (March 23, 1899).[21] Union Township changed its name to Barnegat Township as of January 1, 1977.[21]
