Egg Harbor

HISTORY
Egg Harbor consists of both the Village of Egg Harbor and the Township of Egg Harbor. The Township of Egg Harbor was established in 1855. The Village was settled by Jacob and Levi Thorp. It is said the mythical name to be attributed to an egg tossing battle between two schooner crews after a race to see who could land in the harbor first. Winners tossed eggs at the losers. South of Egg Harbor is Carlsville (an unincorporated community that is part of the Township of Egg Harbor). Carlsville is so named because of four men, all named Carl, were its first settlers.
