Old Post Cards of Keansburg: Since 1881, when founding father William Ramsay had the first postcards of Keansburg printed "to bring to the attention of the people, the beauties of our magnificant shorefront", they have played an important part in the development of Keansburg.
This early form of advertising drew people from the inner city to the shores of the Raritan Bay, before there even was a town. Originally, Keansburg was a holiday beach resort known as Point Comfort. Post cards have been used throughout the years to show the glamour of the town and now a bit of history.
