Editing Dover Beaches North, New Jersey (section)

==History==
What is now Dover Beaches North was first settled in the early 19th century by the Chadwick family as a hunting and fishing resort. Further development continued in 1883 with the construction of a Coast Guard Lifesaving Station and the completion of the [[Pennsylvania Railroad]] on the peninsula, which included a stop at Chadwick Beach. The area was opened to major development after the completion of what is now [[New Jersey Route 35|Route 35]] in 1913.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Kralik |first1=Marilyn |title=Brick Township Historical Survey |url=https://www.state.nj.us/dep/hpo/hrrcn_sandy_OCE_GB_147_148_PDF/OCE_GB_148_v07.pdf |website=New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Historic Preservation Office}}</ref> The area saw its largest growth as a vacation resort in the middle of the 20th century. In 1961, the Pennsylvania Railroad right-of-way was converted into a new southbound roadway for Route 35, allowing the original 1913 roadway to exclusively carry northbound traffic.<ref>{{cite news |title=Rte. 35 Work Nearly Done |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/102801898/ |work=[[Asbury Park Press]] |date=October 8, 1961 |via=[[Newspapers.com]]}}</ref> Today, the area consists of several private beaches governed by homeowners' associations; there are no public beaches in the CDP.
