Welcome to Manville

Manville. Approximately 2.1 square miles of concrete, plaster, and asbestos pollution.

Once upon a time, H.W. Johns and C.B. Manville established an asbestos building products manufacturing plant in Hillsbourough township in 1912. Immigrant families, primarily those of Eastern European descent, came to work in the factory and settled the area around it, providing Manville with a distinct and bold medley of flavors.
