Description
The Sandy Hook Lighthouse is the oldest operating lighthouse in the nation. Its completion was June 11, 1764 and made possible because of 43 New York merchants. The merchants petitioned the Colonial Assembly of New York to request that a lighthouse be erected on Sandy Hook to guide ships safely into New York Harbor. On June 11, 1964, the Sandy Hook Lighthouse was declared a National Historic Landmark, but still operates.
