Plumsted Township is a township in Ocean County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. As of the 2020 United States census, the township's population was 8,072,[9][10] a decrease of 349 (−4.1%) from the 2010 census count of 8,421,[18][19] which in turn reflected an increase of 1,146 (+15.8%) from the 7,275 counted in the 2000 census.[20] The 2010 population was the highest recorded in any decennial census.

Plumsted Township was incorporated as a township by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 11, 1845, from portions of Jackson Township, while the area was still part of Monmouth County. Plumsted Township became part of the newly created Ocean County on February 15, 1850.[21] The township was named for Clement Plumstead, an English Quaker who bought a large parcel of land, but never set foot in the area.[22][23]

At one time, Plumsted included five separate Superfund sites, four of which have been removed from the National Priorities List.[24][25]

"Eventually, discovery and testing of illegal dumps made Plumsted home to no less than five federal Environmental Superfund sites, a rare concentration for an area with little industry or manufacturing of its own. Superfund sites, commonly associated with urban industrial centers like Paterson or Jersey City, are properties so badly contaminated with carcinogens and other harmful pollutants, and so urgently in need of cleanup, that they are placed on a so-called National Priorities List..... The good news about Plumsted’s Superfund history is that it’s mostly just that, with four of the five sites having been taken off the list, meaning they had been deemed sufficiently clean to be reused or redeveloped, though typically with continued monitoring."
