Jackson Township is a township in Ocean County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. A portion of the township is located within the New Jersey Pine Barrens.[19][20] As of the 2020 United States census, the township's population was 58,544,[9][10] an increase of 3,688 (+6.7%) from the 2010 census count of 54,856,[21][22] which in turn reflected an increase of 12,040 (+28.1%) from the 42,816 counted in the 2000 census.[23]
Roughly equidistant between New York City and Philadelphia, along with being in close proximity to the State Capital of Trenton and the Jersey Shore on I-195, Jackson has rapidly grown as an outer-ring suburb of New York within the New York metropolitan area.[24][25] Jackson is also a regional commercial hub of Central Jersey, as it is the site of the Jackson Premium Outlets and Six Flags Great Adventure (the second-largest theme park in the world after Disney's Animal Kingdom in Central Florida[26]). Jackson is also home to both Six Flags Hurricane Harbor and the 350-acre (140 ha) Safari Off Road Adventure, which replaced Six Flags Wild Safari in 2013,[27] and Adventure Crossing a mixed-use entertainment complex that opened in 2023.[28]
