As of the 2010 United States Census, the borough's population was 968,〔〔〔 reflecting a decline of 270 (-21.8%) from the 1,238 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 12 (+1.0%) from the 1,226 counted in the 1990 Census.〔(Table 7. Population for the Counties and Municipalities in New Jersey: 1990, 2000 and 2010 ), New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development, February 2011. Accessed December 24, 2012.〕 Bay Head is situated on the Barnegat Peninsula, also known as Barnegat Bay Island, a long, narrow barrier island that separates Barnegat Bay from the Atlantic Ocean. Together with Mantoloking and Point Pleasant, Bay Head is considered part of the Jersey Shore's "Gold Coast".〔Staff. ("Ahoy! HD:Set a course for Point Pleasant, home of the New Jersey Museum of Boating" ), ''Courier-Post'', April 14, 2003. Accessed August 25, 2013. "Noted O'Brien, 'We've been very, very successful in appealing to the relatively affluent community here in Bay Head, Point Pleasant and Mantoloking, the Gold Coast of the Jersey Shore, at least during the summer.'"〕 Bay Head was incorporated as a Borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on June 15, 1886, from portions of Brick Township, based on the results of a referendum held three days earlier.〔Snyder, John P. (''The Story of New Jersey's Civil Boundaries: 1606-1968'' ), Bureau of Geology and Topography; Trenton, New Jersey; 1969. p. 194. Accessed March 20, 2012.〕 The community was supposed to have been named "Bayhead" after the Bayhead Land Company that developed the area in the 1870s.〔Konrad, Walecia. ("HAVENS; Weekender | Bay Head, N.J." ), ''The New York Times'', June 13, 2003. Accessed March 20, 2012."In the 1870's three New Jersey bankers formed the Bayhead Land Company and divided the area's farms, woods and cranberry bogs into building lots. The rail line, laid soon afterward, opened the beach to financiers and industrialists from New York and North Jersey, and Bay Head became one of New Jersey's most high-end resorts."〕 A railroad sign posted in the 1880s labeled the station as "Bay Head," and the name stuck when the borough was incorporated in 1886. The name also comes from the town's location, which is at the "head" of Barnegat Bay.〔Staff. ("Bay Head & Mantoloking: A brief history" ), from ''Asbury Park Press'', June 20, 2002. Accessed March 20, 2012. "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."〕〔Gannett, Henry. (''The Origin of Certain Place Names in the United States'' ), p. 39. United States Government Printing Office, 1905. Accessed August 27, 2015.〕〔Hutchinson, Viola L. (''The Origin of New Jersey Place Names'' ), New Jersey Public Library Commission, May 1945. Accessed August 27, 2015.〕 ==History== The Bayhead Land Company was incorporated on September 6, 1879, capitalized at $12,000. The founding partners were David H. Mount of Rocky Hill, and three Princeton men: Edward Howe, his brother Leavitt Howe and William Harris. Within several years, the resort had grown in population, with a seawall installed, roads built and graded. In 1882, Bay Head had 20 new cottages and a population of 75. The first post office was established in Bay Head in the summer of 1882. Julius Foster was first postmaster.〔Salter, Edwin. (''Salter’s History of Monmouth and Ocean Counties New Jersey, Embracing a Genealogical Record of Earliest Settlers in Monmouth and Ocean Counties and Their Descendants'' ), p. 286. reprinted by Heritage Books, 1997. ISBN 1585494380. Accessed March 20, 2012. "A Postoffice was established at Bay Head in the Summer of 1882, Julius Foster, Postmaster."〕 The Bay Head Historic District, listed in the New Jersey and the National Registers of Historic places in 2005, includes over 550 contributing structures (over half of the town's buildings) making it one of the largest historic districts in New Jersey.〔Salter, Edwin. (''Salter's History of Monmouth and Ocean Counties, New Jersey'' ), p. 286. Reissued by Heritage Books, 2007.〕 Bay Head's historic district is architecturally significant for its large collection of well-preserved Shingle Style, Stick Style, and Queen Anne Style structures. The stone rubble seawall built in 1882, which had been buried by dunes and largely forgotten, played a role in reducing damage to the town by Hurricane Sandy. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bay Head, New Jersey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
