What to Do in Atlantic City

Learn More

Once a quiet fishing village, Atlantic City established itself as a beach resort in the 19th century, long before anyone had ever heard of Donald Trump. City dwellers came to the shore to promenade along the Boardwalk, take a sightseeing tour in a rolling chair and breathe the fresh ocean air. The first amusement pier was built here in 1882, and such attractions as Lucy the Margate Elephant and the Absecon Lighthouse drew countless tourists to the “Queen of Resorts.” A 1935 board game named “Monopoly” made the local streets—Baltic, Ventnor, Park Place—household names.
