Jackson Mills is anunincorporated community located withinJackson Township, inOcean County, in theU.S. state ofNew Jersey.[2] Jackson Mills is located near exit 22 onInterstate 195. It is also located nearbyCounty Route 526 (County Line Road and Commodore Boulevard) and Jackson Mills Lake.[3] The site was originally home to a sawmill owned by William Jackson (after whom the township may have been named).[4] Today surrounding the lake are some houses and townhomes, small businesses, and the Jackson Township Veterans Memorial Garden, though this area of the township is more rural than other more suburbanized portions of it due to the higher density of forest.[3]
Some discussion centers on the origin of Jackson's name. Some subscribe to the notion that the township was named after William Jackson who owned a sawmill at Jackson's Mills, but recent historians dismissed the suggestion pointing out that there were citizens much more prominent and affluent at the time.
