Inaugurated in 1946 as the Lamplighter Handicap, the race was named to honor Lamplighter, the 1893 American Co-Champion Older Male Horse owned by prominent horseman Pierre Lorillard IV who had been a co-owner of the Monmouth Park Association's racetrack.

Since its inception, the race has been contested at various distances on both dirt and turf:

  • 1+1⁄16 miles on dirt : 1946–1970, 1972, 1974, 1984,1987
  • 1+1⁄8 miles on turf : 1971
  • 1+1⁄16 miles on turf : 1973, 1975–1983, 1985–1986, 1988–2004, 2007–present
  • 1 mile on turf : 2005, 2006

On July 1, 1978 the legendary U.S. Racing Hall of Fame inductee, John Henry, made his turf stakes debut with a third-place finish in the second division of the Lamplighter.
