Wheatland (also called Pasadena[2]) is an unincorporated community within Manchester Township in Ocean County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey.[1][3]

Wheatland is located approximately four miles (6.4 km) southwest of Whiting, along a now-abandoned line of the New Jersey Southern Railroad.[4]

History

[edit]

Sand—mined from nearby pits—was used to manufacture clay drain pipes at a factory erected at Wheatland during the 1870s.[6]

In 1882, Wheatland had a post office, and a population of 125.[4]
