As of the 2000 census, Mantoloking was the highest-income community in the state of New Jersey with a per capita money income of $114,017 as of 1999, an increase of 29.8% from the $87,830 recorded in 1989.[23] Based on data from the 2006–2010 American Community Survey, the borough had a per-capita income of $97,938, ranked 4th in the state.[24] In the Forbes magazine 2012 rankings of "America's Most Expensive ZIP Codes", the borough was ranked 139th, with a median price of $1,403,349.[25]
Mantoloking was incorporated as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on April 10, 1911, from portions of Brick Township.[26] The name Mantoloking is derived from the Unami language of the Lenni Lenape Native Americans who once inhabited New Jersey. Various meanings have been attributed to the community's name including "frog ground" or "sand place".[27][28]
The borough is a Jersey Shore community situated on the Barnegat Peninsula, also known as Barnegat Bay Island, a long, narrow barrier island that separates Barnegat Bay from the Atlantic Ocean. The town is linked to the New Jersey-mainland via the Mantoloking Bridge, linking the town with Brick Township across the Barnegat Bay. Mantoloking is home to the Olympic-champion producing Mantoloking Yacht Club. Some old "summer cottages" in the borough were designed by architect Stanford White of McKim, Mead & White. Together with Bay Head to the north, Mantoloking is considered part of the Jersey Shore's "Gold Coast".[29] It is a dry town where alcohol is not permitted to be sold by law.[30][31]
History
Impact of Hurricane Sandy
During Hurricane Sandy in 2012, storm surge damaged about 90% of the properties in Mantoloking with the largest damage occurring when a breach was formed between the Barnegat Bay and the Atlantic Ocean in the vicinity of Herbert Street (CR 528).[32]
When Hurricane Sandy made landfall in New Jersey on October 29, 2012, the effects were severe, and Mantoloking was especially hard hit, with more than 50 homes requiring demolition,[33] accounting for almost 10% of the housing units in the borough as of the 2010 Census.[19] Verizon Communications announced in July 2013 that it won't rebuild its copper-wire based plain old telephone service to Mantoloking residents, instead providing them with its Voice Link wireless service, an effort that brought protests from the AARP. Residents have complained that many calls don't go through when dialed, that fax transmissions cannot be made, that 911 calls may be affected by network bottlenecks and that power outages would result in the loss of service.[34][35]
Geography
According to the United States Census Bureau, the borough had a total area of 0.64 square miles (1.66 km2), including 0.39 square miles (1.00 km2) of land and 0.25 square miles (0.66 km2) of water (39.69%).[1][2]
The borough borders the Ocean County municipalities of Bay Head, Brick Township and Point Pleasant.[36][37][38]

Local government
Mantoloking is governed under the borough form of New Jersey municipal government, one of 218 municipalities (of the 564) statewide, making it the most common form of government in New Jersey.[46] The governing body is comprised of the mayor and the borough council, with all positions elected at-large on a partisan basis as part of the November general election. The mayor is elected directly by the voters to a four-year term of office. The borough council is comprised of six members elected to serve three-year terms on a staggered basis, with two seats coming up for election each year in a three-year cycle.[3] The borough form of government used by Mantoloking is a "weak mayor / strong council" government in which council members act as the legislative body with the mayor presiding at meetings and voting only in the event of a tie. The mayor can veto ordinances subject to an override by a two-thirds majority vote of the council. The mayor makes committee and liaison assignments for council members, and most appointments are made by the mayor with the advice and consent of the council.[47][48]
As of 2022, the mayor of Mantoloking is Republican E. Laurence "Lance" White III, whose term of office ends on December 31, 2022.

The borough council appointed Barbara Benz in January 2021 to fill the seat expiring in December 2022 that was vacated by D’Arcy Green.[56] Benz served on an interim basis until the November 2021 general election when she was elected to serve the remainder of the term of office.[52]
In December 2018, Donald Ness was selected by the borough council to fill the seat expiring in December 2019 that became vacant following the resignation of Lynn O'Mealia earlier that month.[57]
