Official Web Site

Highlands was incorporated as a borough on March 22, 1900, from portions of Middletown Township. Additional portions of Middletown Township were annexed in 1914.
There is more written on the amazing history of Highlands here.

On October 29, 2012, Hurricane Sandy struck the eastern seaboard of the United States, making landfall just north of Atlantic City. The Borough was heavily damaged when a storm surge of nearly 10 feet swept in from the bay beginning as early as October 28. Most homes and businesses, including the Bahrs Landing and Lusty Lobster fishery were either damaged or totally destroyed. The borough lost several police cars and their fire station was destroyed.
