Harvey Cedars is a borough in Ocean County, New Jersey, United States. As of the 2010 United States Census, the borough's population was 337,[7][8][9][10] reflecting a decline of 22 (-6.1%) from the 359 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn declined by 3 (-0.8%) from the 362 counted in the 1990 Census.[19] The borough borders the Atlantic Ocean on Long Beach Island.
Harvey Cedars was incorporated as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on December 15, 1894, from portions of Union Township (now Barnegat Township), based on the results of a referendum held on November 20, 1894.[20]
The majority of the housing units in the borough are seasonal houses used primarily in the summer by owners who live elsewhere, bringing the summer population to 12,000.[21] The borough's quiet character and bay and ocean access make housing very expensive, with bay or oceanfront houses priced at $2 million or more. Despite the borough's small size, its property was assessed at over $1.2 billion in 2014.[22]
History
Before Long Beach Island was developed, its northern area, from the Barnegat Inlet to the Great Swamp (now Surf City), was covered with Atlantic white cedar (chamaecyparis thyoides). Early inhabitants of the area harvested salt hay (spartina patens) and seaweed to make a living.
The earliest reference to the area was a deed from 1751 that called the place "Harvest Quarters".[23] The name "Harvey Cedars" may be a portmanteau derived from the combination of "harvest" housing used by these farmers and the "cedars" that grew in the area.[24]
Geography
According to the United States Census Bureau, the borough had a total area of 1.185 square miles (3.070 km2), including 0.557 square miles (1.444 km2) of land and 0.628 square miles (1.626 km2) of water (52.97%).[1][2]
Unincorporated communities, localities and place names located partially or completely within the borough include High Point.[25]
The borough borders the Ocean County municipalities of Barnegat Township, Long Beach Township and Stafford Township.[26]

Education
For kindergarten through sixth grade, public school students attend the Long Beach Island Consolidated School District, which also serves students from Barnegat Light, Long Beach Township, Ship Bottom and Surf City.[5][64] As of the 2014-15 school year, the district and its two schools had an enrollment of 456 students and 28.3 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 16.1:1.[65] Schools in the district (with 2014-15 enrollment data from the National Center for Education Statistics[66]) are Ethel Jacobsen School[67] in Surf City with 110 students in pre-kindergarten to second grade and Long Beach Island Grade School[68] in Ship Bottom with 122 students in grades 3 – 6,[69]
Students in public school for seventh through twelfth grades attend the Southern Regional School District, which serves the five municipalities in the Long Beach Island Consolidated School District, along with students from Beach Haven and Stafford Township, as well as students from Ocean Township (including its Waretown section) who attend as part of a sending/receiving relationship.[5][70] Schools in the district (with 2014-15 enrollment data from the National Center for Education Statistics[71]) are Southern Regional Middle School[72] (grades 7 and 8; 937 students) and Southern Regional High School[73] (grades 9 – 12; 2,064 students).[74] Both schools are in the Manahawkin section of Stafford Township.
At the time of its founding in 1957, the Southern Regional School District had a roughly equal number of students from Long Beach Island and Stafford Township. By 2016, the overwhelming majority of students were from Stafford Township, accounting for nearly 90% of enrollment. These demographic changes have led to significant discrepancies in the cost per pupil sent to the district from each community, with Harvey Cedars and Long Beach Township paying more than $200,000 per pupil, while Stafford Township's costs are $3,600 for each student. These widely different costs result from a formula that uses the taxable property value in each municipality to apportion costs, which means that municipalities with relatively high property values and small numbers of students pay a higher share of total district costs. Some residents of Long Beach Island communities are seeking to amend the formula to take advantage of a 1993 law that allows districts to use both property value and enrollment to allocate property taxes, though that would require passage of referendums in each municipality.[75]
Transportation
Roads and highways
As of May 2010[update], the borough had a total of 9.82 miles (15.80 km) of roadways, of which 7.59 miles (12.21 km) were maintained by the municipality and 2.23 miles (3.59 km) by Ocean County.[76]

Ocean County Ride provides bus service on the OC9 LBI North route between Barnegat Light and Manahawkin / Stafford Township.[77]
The LBI Shuttle operates along Long Beach Boulevard, providing free service every 5 to 20 minutes from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM. It serves the Long Beach Island municipalities / communities of Barnegat Light, Loveladies, Harvey Cedars, North Beach, Surf City, Ship Bottom, Long Beach Township, Beach Haven and Holgate.[78]
