When the United States Life-Saving Service became the U.S. Coast Guard in 1915, the Coast Guard began using this station until the late 1940s.
This U.S.Life-Saving Service Station is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is also part of the Fort Hancock and Sandy Hook Proving Ground Historic District National Historic Landmark.
