The Historic Highlands are known as "where the Jersey Shore begins," and in its long life, its residents and visitors have contributed to a rich, vibrant past. In this book, local historian John King compiles over eighty stories authored by more than forty Highlands residents who have experienced life here and embrace its heritage. Some of their tales deal with aspects intrinsic to the region, such as clamming and vacationing summer tourists. Some are thrilling accounts from the days of Prohibition, when rumrunners used the shores as ports for illicit booze. From everyday life, to World War II, to sailing and famous residents, discover the history of Highlands, New Jersey.
