[edit] Opening comment
I changed the name from Sandy Hook, New Jersey to Sandy Hook (New Jersey) to reflect the fact that it is a geographical feature, not a municipality. -- Decumanus 22:37, 14 Mar 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Sandy Hook Isn't in Middletown
Sandy Hook's entrance is in Sea Bright.
- It is. See this map showing Sandy Hook as part of Middletown Township, despite the fact that it is noncontiguous via land. Alansohn 19:28, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
- Should we explain that this is because Sandy Hook is what was left over when Sea Bright was subtracted from Middletown? Septentrionalis PMAnderson 19:00, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Requested Move

The result of the proposal was move the page to Sandy Hook, per the discussion below. Dekimasuよ! 09:14, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
Sandy Hook, New Jersey → Sandy Hook — This geographical feature is the primary usage of the name; it's not a settlement, not having been settled since Fort Hancock was decommissioned in 1972. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 19:07, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Survey
- Support as nom. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 19:07, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
- Support. Google hits show that the New Jersey barrier peninsula is the most common usage. PeterSymonds | talk 19:12, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Discussion
- Please place long comments here.
This will imply moving Sandy Hook to Sandy Hook (disambiguation), to make room. A dab header here should follow. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 19:10, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
