History: Sandy Hook

On June 11, 1764, the light was lit for the first time at Sandy Hook Lighthouse.  The lighthouse sits at the southernmost point of the entrance to New York Harbor and is technically located in the state of New Jersey.  Legend tells us that the lighthouse is the oldest original light tower in use in the United States.  Find out more at the National Park Service website.
