Egg Harbor Township was first mentioned as part of Gloucester County in records dating back to March 20, 1693, and at times was called New Weymouth.
The township's western boundary was established on May 13, 1761, with the area called Great Egg-Harbour township.
Portions of the township were taken to form Galloway Township, which was established by Royal Charter on April 4, 1774.
