Overview and metadata sections

A monthly meeting for Great Egg Harbor and Cape May was established in 1726 by Salem Quarterly Meeting. It was transferred to Haddonfield Quarterly Meeting in 1794. Cape May Meeting was transferred to the newly-formed Maurice River Monthly Meeting in 1804. In 1806, the monthly meeting began to circulate to Galloway. Great Egg Harbor Monthly Meeting was discontinued in 1843; its members were transferred to Haddonfield Monthly Meeting.

This meeting is often referred to as "Egg Harbor."
