About CMPTA

Cape May Point was founded as “Sea Grove,” by Alexander Whilldin in 1875 and designated as a Borough in 1878. It has evolved from a bustling seaside resort with multiple hotels and other commercial properties to the serene, low key community we enjoy today. Famous residents included President Benjamin Harrison and retailer John Wanamaker, also a Co-Founder.


Like many things "Cape May Point" the Taxpayers Association has a long history. The Association was started in 1936, and has an over a 85 year history supported by many dedicated volunteers. Not a typical Taxpayers Association, the CMPTA has a unique mission---to continue making "The Point" a special place.


​We work to keep our members informed and provide opportunities to enhance our environment. Our events bring people together, so that neighbors can meet and forge life-long friendships. We encourage everyone to get involved. Working together creates the fabric of community. And that is what makes Cape May Point special!


Come and join us!


The Cape May Point Taxpayers' Association is a non-profit, charitable organization established in 1936, with a mission to:

  • Advance the well-being of the Borough of Cape May Point,
  • Foster a sense of community pride and collaboration,
  • Organize and endorse events and initiatives that enhance community life, and
  • Engage in any other activities deemed necessary, appropriate, or beneficial to the aforementioned goals.


Operations are overseen by a Board of Directors, consisting of a President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, four Non-Resident Directors, and three Resident Directors. Regular board meetings are held throughout the year, culminating in an Annual Public Meeting typically held in late Summer or early Fall.
