History

Lenni Lenape部落是现在被称为大西洋城地区的第一批居民. European settlement would come in the late 1700s, 但直到卡姆登和大西洋铁路建成，大西洋城的名字才被采用，这个地区才得到开发. Train service began in 1854, and by the 1870s, 每年有近50万火车乘客来到大西洋城.

By the later part of the 19th century, immense and luxurious hotels had been built, such as the Surf Hotel, and the United States Hotel, which when completed, was the largest in the nation. It covered an entire city block and had over 2,000 rooms. The first boardwalk was built in 1870. Large hotels were built on the boardwalk, such as Mayflower, Brighton, Shelburne, Chalfonte House, and Haddon Hall. 到本世纪末，大西洋城被称为“美国的游乐场”.”
