NJ - Sandy Hook. The New York Herald Tribune, Sunday, March 22, 1925. The Sandy Hook Light. A picturesque view of the historic beacon at Sandy Hook, NJ, which was built by the British in 1764 on what was then the point of the hook. An interesting story is told regarding the early years of the octagonal, whitewashed shaft - of how when New York attempted to tax the boats of New Jersey farmers the Legislature of the latter state retaliated by taxing the lighthouse, which was then owned by the City of New York.
