Clement Plumsted, of London, was granted 2,700 acres of land in 1699, which included most of the area 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.
Today a commitment to the Farmland Preservation Program by state, county and local officials has enhanced the preservation of Plumsted’s rural character.
