Middletown is the largest municipality in Monmouth County, spread along the Navesink and the bayshore in the north of the county.
Monmouth was one of the three counties — with Bergen and Somerset — where slaveholding in New Jersey was densest from 1737 until 1800. That is not a footnote to this township's history; it is the arrangement under which much of it was settled and farmed. New Jersey was the last northern state to free its slaves and did it by stages: no living person freed in 1804, the remaining enslaved renamed "apprentices" in 1846, eighteen still held in 1860, and a legislature that voted the Thirteenth Amendment down in March 1865 before ratifying it the following January, after it was already law.
From 1737 to 1800 the heaviest concentrations of enslaved people in New Jersey were found in Bergen, Monmouth and Somerset counties. Monmouth's farms and estates were worked by people the law counted as property for more than a century before the state began, slowly, to reconsider.
Abortion reporting to the CDC is voluntary, and New Jersey is one of four jurisdictions that declines. Its own Department of Health publishes no count of induced terminations, by county or statewide. The state that wrote abortion access into its statutes does not record how often it happens.
There is no figure for Middletown, or for Monmouth County, because there is no figure for anywhere in New Jersey. The best available independent estimate is 61,200 abortions provided by clinicians statewide in 2025.

Congregations we know of in Middletown Township that have taken a public abolitionist position — not simply a pro-life one.
We are not aware of a publicly abolitionist church in Middletown Township. We read every New Jersey congregation in the directory we work from — 106 of them — and found one in the whole state, in Glassboro. Abolitionists Rising, the movement's own national organisation, lists the same single church on its New Jersey page and no others. That is not a gap in the research. It is the situation.
If your church has taken a public position on abolition — from the pulpit, in a resolution, or in its own published words — tell us and we will verify it and list it here.
