The borough borders the Atlantic Ocean on Long Beach Island and is home to Barnegat Lighthouse.
The area surrounding the Barnegat Bay and Barnegat Inlet were described by Henry Hudson, in 1609, as "..a great lake of water, as we could judge it to be .. The mouth of the lake hath many shoals, and the sea breaketh on them as it is cast out of the mouth of it." The name of the existing town was obtained from the Bay and Inlet, which were originally named in 1614 "Barendegat," or "Inlet of the Breakers," by Dutch (ethnic group) settlers, referring to the waterway's turbulent channel. The ship was noticed by Captain Andrew Steelman, whom recruited local men to unload the cargo. Nearly a decade later, in 1834, Slaight sold of land to the Federal government of the United States States Federal Government under the stipulation that no stores or taverns may be built, nor could the lands be used for cattle.
