History & geography

History

At the Battle of Monmouth, an American Revolutionary War battle fought on June 28, 1778, in Monmouth County, American General Charles Lee led the advance and initiated the first attack on the column's rear. When the British turned to flank him, he ordered a general retreat without as much as firing a shot at the enemy, and his soldiers soon became disorganized. General George Washington continued the battle, earning respect for the Continental Army troops under his command. In the dining room of the Village Inn, located in the center of Englishtown, General Washington and Lord Stirling drew up the court martial papers citing Lee for his conduct during and after the battle.

Geography

According to the United States Census Bureau, the borough had a total area of 0.59 square miles (1.52 km2), including 0.57 square miles (1.48 km2) of land and 0.02 square miles (0.04 km2) of water (2.88%). making it part of 21 pairs of "doughnut towns" in the state, where one municipality entirely surrounds another.
