Point Pleasant (Images of America)

December 23, 2021 By

$22.00

By Jerry A. Woolley:  Point Pleasant and Point Pleasant Beach have always been two of New Jersey’s most dynamic coastal communities.  Visit the history and photographs of their pasts.  Since the development of photography in the mid-nineteenth century, the camera has been used as a tool of both discovery and preservation.  Photographs bring alive our image of the past, and can open a floodgate of memories and nostalgia or inspire curiosity and a sense of history.  The scenic beauty and simple charm of the area remains undisturbed today, and it is easy to see why it has been a popular tourist destination for more than two centuries.  The last one hundred years have also seen the formation and development of several important industries in the region, including shipbuilding and commercial fishing.  This combination of business and recreation, of modern industry and Old World charm is why Point Pleasant and Point Pleasant Beach remain two of the most vivacious and magnetic communities on the coast of New Jersey.
