Summary
Significance: Sandy Hook, located within twenty miles of New York City, is significant in that it remains a relatively undeveloped stretch of land with a preserved natural landscape despite the pressures of development through the surrounding Navesink Highlands. Sandy Hook is also the location of the now deactivated Fort Hancock Military Installations, which recalls a significant defensive history.
