Loveladies
History
When the U.S. Life Saving Stations were established on the Island in the 1870's, they were usually given names, and there was a great deal of discussion on what to call Station Number 114. It was finally named after an island in the bay owned by Thomas Lovelady, a hunter and sportsman.
The small community has had several other names through the years. The railroad stop had been called Club House, and around the time of World War II it acquired the name of Long Beach Park. In 1952, the area officially became Loveladies, keeping the name originally given to the site.
