Mantua [†] was taken from Greenwich Township and organized as a separate township in 1853. It took its name from the creek which forms its northeastern boundary. A Lenni Lenape Indian word "Manta," means frog. The Township contains an area of ten thousand eight hundred and sixty-seven acres, among which is some of the best land in the county. It is very productive in market garden-truck, and being centrally located on the West Jersey Railroad, enjoys good facilities for shipping vegetables and small fruits.
