History
The city of Breezy Point is best known for being the home to a resort of the same name on land acquired in 1921 by millionaire publicist Wilford Fawcett, owner of Fawcett Publications, and creator of the famous Whiz Bang magazine. His personal home, Fawcett House, is on rental to the public.
With the resort community growing as a result of Fawcett's actions, a village was incorporated in 1939 with the name of Pelican Lakes. It was renamed to Breezy Point in 1969.
