This means it's a group of homes and businesses that are part of a larger area, like a township, but don't have their own separate local government. Millhurst is located within Manalapan Township in Monmouth County.
Exploring Millhurst

The Millhurst Mill
One of the most important landmarks in Millhurst is the old Millhurst Mill. It sits right where County Route 527 crosses the Manalapan Brook. This mill has a long and interesting history.
A Grist Mill's History
The Millhurst Mill was originally built in the 1700s. It was a grist mill, which is a type of mill that grinds grain into flour. Imagine how important that was for people long ago! In the 1800s, the mill was rebuilt to be even better and more efficient. Later, in 1925, a person named Bernard Hochberg turned it into a family business.
