The unincorporated communities of Mount Royal, Clarksboro, and Mickleton together form East Greenwich, which, as one township, includes 15 square miles and 13,000 residents. The area’s official history goes back to February 10, 1881, when an act of the New Jersey Legislature merged a western portion of Mantua Township and an eastern portion of Greenwich Township, creating East Greenwich Township. Over the last 20 years, its population has risen exponentially as families have been drawn to its low tax rates, excellent school districts, and pro- business policies.
