State Highways of New Jersey
NJ 72 is the spur off NJ 70 that stretches from Four Mile, in Woodland Township, Burlington County, to Ship Bottom on Long Beach Island.
Originally, the road was conceived as NJ S-40, a spur off NJ 40 between Camden and Lakewood, but the road was first legislated only to the Manahawkin section of Stafford Township. It was soon extended, though, across Manahawkin Bay to the beach resorts.
The highway’s number changed in 1953, when the state eliminated spur route designations.
