The Navesink Highlands Light Station, also called the Twin Lights, was the first lighthouse in America to be fitted in 1841 with the then revolutionary Fresnel lens. The lighthouse was a key navigational point leading ships into New York Harbor. The lighthouse was decommissioned in 1949 and became a New Jersey State historic landmark in 1962.
