In Arthurian legend,Avalon is an island paradise in the western seas to which King Arthur went at his death. While we've never seen King Arthur in town, or even at The Princeton, there's no doubt about the paradise part.
Avalon and the entire 7 Mile Beach was purchased in 1722 from its British owner for $380. Orginally, it was called Leaming's Island after its first owner, John Leaming.
