History of Egg Harbor Township
Egg Harbor Township got its name from Cornelius Jacobsen Mey. In 1614, during the New World expansion, Cornelius Mey came across an inlet of a nearby river. He found the meadows in the area covered with waterfowl eggs and shorebird, so much that he called it "Eyren Haven", meaning Egg Harbor.
