The Manalapan and Patton's Corner Turnpike was a turnpike in New Jersey, running northeast from Manalapan Township and Marlboro Township.
The Manalapan and Patton's Corner Turnpike was chartered on March 24, 1863 and began at the present intersection of New Jersey Route 33 and County Route 527 Alternate on the boundary of Manalapan and Millstone townships. It proceeded east along present-day Route 33 to what is now the intersection of Route 33 and Woodward Road in Manalapan, where the turnpike turned north and followed what are now Woodward Road, Main Street and Tennent Road to the Monmouth County Plank Road. On November 17, 1886, the Manalapan and Freehold Turnpike Company purchased the western segment of the Manalapan and Patton's Corner Turnpike, which truncated the route at Woodward Road and Route 33. On July 10, 1901, the 5.18-mile (8.34 km) segment of turnpike within Marlboro Township was purchased by the Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders and incorporated into the county highway system. It would appear that at this time the segment in Manalapan was abandoned to the township. Much of this turnpike would later be included as a part of County Route 3.

“...I was confronted with a virile idealism, an awareness of what man must have for manliness, dignity, and inner liberty which, by contrast, made me see how easy living had made my own group into childishly unthinking people. The Negro’s struggles and despairs have been like fertilizer in the fields of his humanity, while we, like protected children with all our basic needs supplied, have given our attention to superficialities.”
—Sarah Patton Boyle, U.S. civil rights activist and author. The Desegregated Heart, part 1, ch. 19 (1962)
“I used to join the murmurings about “Where are the qualified women?” As we murmured, we would all gaze about the room, up toward the chandelier, into the corner behind the potted palm, under the napkin, hoping perhaps that qualified women would pop out like leprechauns.”
—Jane O’Reilly, U.S. feminist and humorist. The Girl I Left Behind, ch. 5 (1980)
