Island Heights takes its name from two sources: it originally was an island. It is situated by a steep bluff rising 60 feet above the Toms River. It was originally known as Doctor Johnson's island, being included in the patent granted to him in 1680. In the century before the American Revolutionary War, it was known as Dillon's Island, probably for James Dillon, a prominent man in Toms River.
