New Point Comfort Real Estate: The town of Keansburg began as a Summer holiday resort and real estate venture.
In 1893, William Alvin Gelhaus founded the New Point Beach Company with his partners Jesse Sculthorp and Howard Roberts. This real estate venture was established to attract wealthy people from the city, to buy vacation homes and perhaps, permanently settle here. New York City was becoming quite crowded at this time with industrialisation and waves of immigration.
On June 7th of 1914, a full page advertisement in the NY Tribune was taken out to display the opportunities available entitled "Jersey Coast Resorts".
