The borough’s name is of Lenape origin, “Man-A-Squaw-Han”, meaning “stream of the island of squaws”.  Manasquan, Maniquan, Mannisquan, Manasquam, Squan, and Squan Village are variations on the original pronunciation and spelling. The meaning has also been interpreted as “an island with enclosure for squans.”

Manasquan was formed as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on December 30, 1887, from portions of  Wall Township, based on the results of a referendum held the previous day.

New Jersey Monthly magazine ranked Manasquan as its 22nd best place to live in its 2008 rankings of the “Best Places To Live” in New Jersey.
