English settlers arrived in 1686 and named the settlement "Penny Pot" because it resembled the English countryside.[3] The Hospitality Branch flows into the Great Egg Harbor River at Penny Pot, and a dam was built made of timbers salvaged from the hull of a British ship pirated during the Revolutionary War.[4] The settlement was a group of houses around a tavern of the same name, and was described in 1915 as, "a settlement of other years, one large house remaining".[5]
