About Leeds Point
Leeds Point (also known as Leeds) is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) located within Galloway Township, Atlantic County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. As of the 2020 census, Leeds Point had a population of 205. It is situated on the end of a promontory raised about 30–50 ft above the salt marsh on the south side of Great Bay. Leeds Point is 5.7 miles (9.2 km) northeast of Absecon. Leeds Point has a post office with ZIP Code 08220, which opened on December 18, 1827. The town is named after the Leeds family, whose first American member, Daniel Leeds, Surveyor General of West Jersey around the beginning of the 18th century, after immigrating to New Jersey from the city of Leeds in England, claimed the land which now makes up Leeds Point; some of his descendants lived in Leeds Point from then on. (His descendants also include his son Daniel Leeds and grandson Titan Leeds, who in Philadelphia published one of America's first almanacs.)
The Jersey Devil was born in Leeds Point, according to one legend about the cryptid. The legend claims that in 1735, the thirteenth child of a woman called Mrs. Leeds from the community was transformed into a demon shortly after birth due to her cursing that it would be the devil.
