Cape May Point is a borough located at the tip of the Cape May Peninsula in Cape May County. It is part of the Ocean City Metropolitan Statistical Area. As of the 2010 United States Census, the resident population was 291,[7][8][9] reflecting an increase of 50 (+20.7%) from the 241 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn declined by 7 (-2.8%) from the 248 counted in the 1990 Census.[18] Cape May Point is home to the Cape May Light, though Lower Township claims that the lighthouse is located in that municipality.[19]

Cape May Point was called Stites Beach until 1876 when the name was changed to Seagrove.[20] It was incorporated as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on April 19, 1878, from portions of Lower Township, based on the results of a referendum held three days earlier. It was reincorporated on August 19, 1891 and returned to Lower Township on April 8, 1896. Cape May Point re-emerged as an independent municipality on April 6, 1908, based on the results of a referendum held on April 21, 1908.[21] The borough's name derives from Cape May, which was named for 1620 Dutch captain named Cornelius Jacobsen May who explored and charted the area between 1611–1614, and established a claim for the province of New Netherland.[22][23]

Cape May Point is a dry town where alcohol cannot be sold.[24][25]

Cape May Point operates under the Walsh Act commission form of government, first created to rebuild the city of Galveston, Texas after the devastating Hurricane of 1900.[5] Cape May Point is one of more than 30 municipalities statewide to use this form of government. In three-member Commissions, as in Cape May Point, the Departments of Public Affairs and Public Safety are combined, as are the Departments of Public Works and Parks and Public Property. Revenue and Finance is the third portfolio. The borough adopted this form of government in 1916.[36][37]

The Commissioners exercise complete control of the operation of the borough, with each Commissioner having all aspects of Administrative, Executive, Judicial, and Legislative powers over their department. The three Commissioners choose a mayor from among themselves at a reorganization meeting following each election, with the mayor responsible for leading municipal meetings and general oversight of community affairs.

As of 2015, the members of the Board of Commissioners of Cape May Point are Mayor Robert Moffatt (Commissioner of Public Affairs and Public Safety) Deputy Mayor Anita vanHeeswyk (Commissioner of Revenue and Finance) and Robert Mullock (Commissioner of Public Works; serving an unexpired term), all serving concurrent terms of office ending May 2016.[38][39]
