[edit] Too many on the list

The list needs to be edited. The list includes various geographic entities that are not municipalities. New Jersey has 566 municipalities (the list is longer).

You're 100% right. Mixed in to the 566 municipalities are 120+ census-designated places that are each part of some other municipality (or multiple municipalities) that are now effectively being double-counted. I've been working my way through this list combing the CDPs into their parent municipalities (see Woodbridge, Dover Township and Hamilton township in the top of the list for a sample). This is all being done as part of WikiProject new Jersey, which is aiming to fill in the holes and validate all of the data for New Jersey. Check it out.
