1878 repaired; 1878 to open July 1878; 1879 completed; 1895 new station built to replace old one, which was built many years ago and had become inadequate; 1917 station discontinued, to become auxiliary to one or the other active adjacent stations (USLSS Annual Reports). A new site was acquired in 1891 "two and one?half miles south of Shark River." Station was discontinued in 1917 and was listed as an auxiliary station to the Manasquan station with an enlisted man in charge; in 1922 it was discontinued as an active unit until 1925, when the station again appeared as a full station (USCG Historian's Website).
