Atlantic City: Boardwalk, Casinos, and a Barrier Island Resort
Atlantic City occupies the northern end of Absecon Island, a barrier island off the southern New Jersey coast. The city has a population of approximately 39,000. The community was founded in 1854 as a resort destination reachable by the newly built Camden and Atlantic Railroad, and the six-mile Boardwalk opened in 1870 as the first in the world.
Casino gambling was legalized by New Jersey voters in a 1976 referendum and began in Atlantic City in 1978, when Resorts International opened the first casino on the Boardwalk. At peak the city operated more than a dozen casinos. Several have closed or reopened under new names, and the current count sits at nine operating properties including Borgata, Hard Rock, and Ocean.
The Monopoly game board released by Parker Brothers in 1935 used Atlantic City street names, and the intersections of Boardwalk, Park Place, Marvin Gardens, and the city's other streets remain part of the popular imagination. The Steel Pier was built in 1898 and hosts amusement rides over the Atlantic Ocean. Stockton University operates a campus in the city on the former Showboat casino tower.
