Island Beach, New Jersey
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Island Beach was a borough that existed in Ocean County, New Jersey, United States, from 1933 to 1967.
Island Beach was incorporated as a borough by an Act of the New Jersey Legislature on June 23, 1933, from portions of Berkeley Township, Lacey Township and Ocean Township. The referendum that approved the borough's formation was passed on August 18, 1933.[1]
After hitting a peak population of 31 in the 1940 Census, the population dropped off to 13 in the 1950 enumeration and was down to 11 in the 1960 tally, the last before the borough's demise.[2]
The borough lasted until 1965, when it was absorbed into Berkeley Township.[1]
