| About Little Egg Harbor

Located amid the natural beauty of Great Bay, just 30 miles north of Atlantic City and a convenient fifteen-minute drive to the famous Jersey Shore beaches of Long Beach Island, the Township of Little Egg Harbor truly is a “Little Treasure By The Bay.” |

| About Barnegat
|
|
Around 1609 Henry Hudson sailed along the coast of New Jersey coming to an inlet which he named Barende-gat, a Dutch word meaning an inlet with breakers. This name was replaced by Barndegat by early mapmakers and later evolved into the present day spelling of Barnegat. |

| About Tuckerton
|
|
What was probably New Jersey's first summer resort was on Tucker's Island off shore from Little Egg Harbor. The island sported boarding houses, private cottages and a school. In 1848 a Lighthouse was erected there, with Eben Rider as its first light keeper. In 1869 the Little Egg Harbor Lifesaving's Station was constructed there. Also known as Sea Haven, the island contained two hotels. An ad in Claypoole's American Daily Advertiser, dated Monday 28, 1798 attracted vacationers from sea bathing, fishing and fowling. The stage left every Thursday at 4 A.M. from Coopers Ferry and arrived at Mt. Evans, Tuckerton, the same evening. The ad was signed by Ebenezer Tucker. The sea took its toll; the island no longer exists. |

According to Jack Cervetto's "A Brief History of Stafford Township," before sailing from Staffordshire, England, James Haywood, Perry Paul and Luke Courtney purchased the first tracts of land in what is now Stafford Township in 1735. A few years, they sailed to the New World and settled the Manahawkin area in 1743. |

| About Barnegat Light
|
|
The original Barnegat Lighthouse was constructed in 1824 but by 1855 had fallen into such a state of disrepair that replacement was essential. In 1857-59 the second Barnegat Lighthouse was built. Barnegat Lighthouse is the second tallest lighthouse in the United States and was commissioned January 1, 1859 and operated through decommissioning in 1927. It is now the central focus of the Barnegat Lighthouse State Park, located within the Borough. The Barnegat Light Museum, houses the original lens (a work of art built in 1847 outside Paris) from our Lighthouse and was once called "the finest small maritime museum in New Jersey ". The Museum is in the well maintained old Barnegat City one-room-schoolhouse at the corner of 5th Street and Central Ave. The Museum and its adjacent garden is well worth a visit. |
