It is thought that the “Evil Ghosts” referred to the numerous mosquitoes found in the area. The first settlement now known as Williamstown was called “Squankum”, an Indian name meaning, “Place of Evil Ghosts”. Little opposition was given the white man when he settled here. The Lenni-Lenape Indians, a member of the Delaware Tribe, hunted the woods and fished the streams in early times. Present population is approximately 36,129. Williamstown is surrounded by Cecil, Cross Keys, Downer, New Brooklyn, Robanna and Victory Lakes. The area is drained on the east by Four Mile Branch and Squankum Branch of the Great Egg Harbor River, on the south by Whitehall and Hospitality Branches and Scotland Run. Early history refers to this as one of the “pine townships” because of the abundance of pine timber in the area. Monroe Township is located in the northeast corner of Gloucester County.
