A royal charter, the LBI bridge and Beach Haven West.
Stafford Township was chartered in 1750 and named for Staffordshire, England. The name Manahawkin is usually said to come from a Lenape phrase for land of good corn, though scholars now read it as fertile land sloping into the water.
In the 1950s the Parkway brought resort growth, and Beach Haven West’s lagoons and Ocean Acres’ woods filled with homes. Route 72 and the Manahawkin Bay Bridge carry everyone to Ship Bottom and LBI.
High schoolers go to Southern Regional, and the Parkway meets Route 72 at exit 63.
