The Short Take

High Point At A Glance

High Point is the section of Harvey Cedars the borough's history places between 87th Street and Sussex Avenue, and Wikipedia describes it as the part of the borough at a higher elevation. The borough's post office was first called High Point; in the 1930s the name was changed at the request of the Postal Service to tell it apart from High Point in Sussex County. The name lives on in the High Point Volunteer Fire Company.

Known For Kinsey And Lee

Development began in 1884, when Josiah Buzby Kinsey and Isaac Lee each bought tracts in High Point. Kinsey's general store at the northeast corner of 78th Street and the Boulevard and his yacht club on the bayfront at 78th are both still standing, and his name remains in Kinsey Cove. Lee ran pound fishing off High Point.
