Rock Lodge Club

[1][2] Rock Lodge Club and Sky Farm, also based in New Jersey, were founded in 1932 as the first permanent nudist communities in the United States.

In the late nineteenth century, A. L. A. Himmelwright, an engineer at the Roebling Construction Company, bought the land that today is used by Rock Lodge nudist club.

This main spring is mentioned in deeds and early leases as a water supply for surrounding neighbors as well as for Rock Lodge.

Ben Roller, a physician and world class professional wrestler, ran the Rock Lodge Health Farm as per display advertisement in the NY Times 1921.

Amenities included an indoor world class handball court and coal heat, with a fireplace and living room.

In 1990, Rock Properties Inc. was formed as a non-profit organization, and money was raised by members for the purchase of 35 acres (14 ha).

This newspaper ad probably ran in the 1940s during World War II given its reference to saving gasoline and "rubber" tires, and touting Rock Lodge Club's proximity to New York City. In the ad, AGA stands for the American Gymnosophical Association , the group promoting social nudism at the time.
