The Long Beach Island Landmarks Association was founded in direct response to the outcries from local residents who could no longer stand by quietly and watch the unique architectural character of their small barrier island community be erased forever. Many of the early Long Beach Island structures had been demolished or renovated beyond recognition. The organization received its charter on January 12, 2004.
