context_page_description: Wickatunk is an unincorporated community located within Marlboro Township in Monmouth County, New Jersey, United States. Elevation above sea level is 180 feet. It was founded in 1695 by three Scottish servants from the community of Toponemus. Originally surveyed by George Keith, in a letter he states:
  "After some time I may give thee a particular account of all thy land I have surveyed for thee and what I reckon dew for it. John Laing and his family are well and lyke to do well, and so John Sym and his family. Also thou hast thy share laid out at Wickington.
  After the initial settlement, the plan in the early 1700s called for a village center with small town lots surrounded by plantations. However, that plan was not workable as it did not allow for townspeople to have farming land.
  Research suggests the name derives from the Delaware "wikwetung", meaning "the fishing place".
