The town we serve and protect.
It is a town of distinct individuality, Bay Head has been called by some "the crown jewel" of the strand of beaches that constitutes Barnegat Beach Island. The timeless beauty of this small country village by the sea is both elegant and casual, creating a mystique that has endured for generations. It is a safe haven in which to raise a family and pursue both land and sea activities. Since the late 1800's Bay Head has been the favorite vacation place for those who enjoy a certain kind of quiet, a relaxing yet friendly way of life.

Bay Head's two-word
name resulted from a typographical error. It was meant to be Bayhead, named for the Bayhead Land Co.,
organized by three Princeton bankers. But when the railroad station sign
was hung in the early 1880s, it read Bay Head. And so, Bay Head was
incorporated in 1886.
