History of New Egypt, New Jersey
Clement
Plumsted, of London, was granted 2,700 acres in 1699, which included
most of the land now, called New Egypt. On the John Hill Map of Monmouth
County, 1781, this tract of land was referred to as "Plumstead’s" and is
the earliest known name found for New Egypt. In 1845, New Egypt, and the
40 square mile area surrounding it, was incorporated as Plumsted
Township in honor of Clement Plumsted. It was once stated that all roads
led to New Egypt. Until the early 1900’s this statement held true. New
Egypt was once two separate settlements known as Newport and Snuff Mill.
In the late 1700’s the town was called Egypt and there is no official
record as to when it began to be called New Egypt. But on December 28,
1869, the name was voted to be changed from New Egypt to Oakford. In
March 1870 it was changed back again to New Egypt.
Plumsted Township
New Egypt, Plumsted Township was incorporated in 1845. It is located centrally in New Jersey in a beautiful rural setting with nearly 40 acres of recreational fields and lakefront parks. A commitment to the Farmland Preservation Program by state, county and local officials has enhanced the preserving of Plumsted’s rural character. The recorded population from the 1990 census is 6,005 in the township. The Plumsted Township Committee is the governing body of New Egypt and consists of five elected members. Township offices are located in the Plumsted Township Municipal Building at 31 Main Street in New Egypt.
