Wolfert was an unincorporated community located within East Greenwich Township in Gloucester County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. [1] [2]
An early settler was Solomon Lippincott, who purchased 200 acres (81 ha) of land at that location in 1741. In 1756, a local branch of the Society of Friends used Lippincott's home as a place of worship. "Solomons Graveyard" (extant) was established on the property, the earliest burials dating from 1795.

A branch of the West Jersey Railroad was constructed in 1871, and a station was erected in Wolfert. [5] [6]
