Point Pleasant Borough was originally settled by people of English decent who were mainly farmers and boat builders. At one time the community was a booming logging center where trees were shipped out of the Beaver Dam Creek. The Point Pleasant Canal was built about three quarters of a century ago. That two mile ditch had been a dream of local planners since the early part of the nineteenth. During WWII the canal was used as a thoroughfare so marine ships could safely pass through the Manasquan Inlet to the Barnegat bay. The Canal & Beaver Dam Creek are now an alluring favorite of homeowners who appreciate boating, fishing and the waterfront throughout the year.
