The History of the Island
Can be traced back to Sir Walter Raleigh. In 1584 he was granted a patent to what was then known as the Province of New Jersey by King James I of England. The first recorded purchase of this island shows up in history in 1722 for a sum of 7 pounds, 10 shillings. In today's money that would be about $380.00
The island was only used by fishermen, game hunters, or sailors and for grazing cattle until the late 1800s. Then a developer from Philadelphia purchased 3000 acres for a resort area and Avalon was born. A short time later a railroad span was built across Townsend Inlet and the area started to grow.
