Old Church is an unincorporated community located within Monroe Township in Middlesex County, New Jersey, United States.[2] The settlement is named for a Presbyterian community that settled on the site but relocated to Cranbury c. 1740.[3] Originally, the area was farmland.[4] One of the farms in the area was the Dey Farm, in existence since the founding of Monroe Township in 1838 and the site of a command post used by George Washington during the Battle of Monmouth in 1778.[5] Starting in 2004, the area experienced a major change from its agricultural roots to single-family residences on the south side of the area and age-restricted communities to the north.[6] This redevelopment also caused the severing of the main north-south road, Old Church Road and the extension of Federal Road which formerly had its western end at Old Church Road to Applegarth Road.[7] The a farmhouse named England House was moved 4,000 feet (1,200 m) to the Dey Farm site to preserve the area's history prior to the construction of the new houses in 2004.[6]
