Plumsted Township became part of the newly created Ocean County on February 15, 1850.[19] The township was named for Clement Plumstead, an English Quaker who bought a large parcel of land, but never step foot in the area.[20][21]

At one time, Plumsted included five separate Superfund sites, two of which have been removed from the National Priorities List,[22] the most of any township in New Jersey.[citation needed]
