Incorporated on 1,854 and very close to Philadelphia, its weather, beaches and peacefulness led it to become the usual destination for weekenders looking to escape from the noise of Philadelphia that by those times was starting its conversion onto the industrial complex of the northwest. With time business started opening and with them the hotels, the beach attractions and the reputation of the city as a resort town and relaxation place for the people of the surroundings. As the resort town reputation unveiled, the hotels placed around the beach started to install a boardwalk to keep the sand out of their hotels, with time the boardwalk expanded to be 7 miles long and after 1944 hurricane it was fortuned almost 2 miles and know it’s just 5.75 miles long but still in the current times the Longest Boardwalk of the world.

One of the first hotels to get here was the Traymore which was named after its most concurrent guest, it started back on the 1903 as a 10 room’s hotel wooden house with had the bathrooms on the outside and no air conditioner until when on 1884 a winter storm destructed it and in the rebuilding process the bath rooms were brought in. Later incarnations of the hotel led it to a 450 room’s hotel that was known as the “Taj Majal” of Atlantic City, long before Donald Trump made it his own. Very impoverished after World War II like many east cities it the city started having security issues which scarred away the customers.

The advancements on transportation technology were the ones that lead the city to its decline and near collapse. Once customers had cars and airlines available the premium destinations of Florida started to switch the customer’s attention, the arrival of the Air Conditioner and the pool also took his part on the demise of the city, and the whole thing that made the city so attractive also made it less attractive by then.
