North Haven is mainly residential, though there is a small row of shops along the main street, Ocean Drive. Like much of the Mid North Coast, the suburb is notable for its large proportion of retirees; the median age at the 2006 Census was 57.[1]
History
editIn the early 1930s, North Haven only had two permanent residents: the Ostler and Eames families. During some period, a rutile sandmining plant was erected at the mouth of the Camden Haven River, by the breakwall.[2]
