The park is named after Richard Hartshorne, who acquired the land from the Lenape for thirteen shillings after sailing to the Highland in 1670. Rocky Point, the 224-acre easternmost section of the park, contained a World War Two era Coast Artillery site known as Battery Lewis. Later, the Highlands Air Force Station, a long-range air defense radar installation and the Highlands Army Air Defense Site (HAADS) were constructed here. The Air Force closed its installation in 1966. The Army continued to operated HAADS through 1974 to support Nike missile batteries throughout the region
