Atlantic City Show map of the US Location in Atlantic County. Atlantic City, 1877 The city was incorporated in 1854, the same year in which the train service began. Built on the edge of the bay, this served as the direct link of this remote parcel of land with, Pennsylvania. That same year, construction of the, designed by of the, was approved, with work initiated the next year. By 1874, almost 500,000 passengers a year were coming to Atlantic City by rail. In Boardwalk Empire: The Birth, High Times, and Corruption of Atlantic City, 'Atlantic City's Godfather' Nelson Johnson describes the inspiration of Dr. Haddon Hall Hotel depicted on a postcard In the early part of the 20th century, Atlantic City went through a radical building boom.

Many of the modest boarding houses that dotted the boardwalk were replaced with large hotels. Two of the city's most distinctive hotels were the and the. In 1903, Josiah White III bought a parcel of land near Ohio Avenue and the boardwalk and built the Marlborough House. The hotel was a hit and, in 1905–06, he chose to expand the hotel and bought another parcel of land next door to his Marlborough House.

In an effort to make his new hotel a source of conversation, White hired the architectural firm of Price and McLanahan. The firm made use of, a new building material invented by Jean-Louis Lambot in 1848 (Joseph Monier received the patent in 1867). The hotel's Spanish and Moorish themes, capped off with its signature dome and chimneys, represented a step forward from other hotels that had a classically designed influence. White named the new hotel the Blenheim and merged the two hotels into the Marlborough-Blenheim. Was later constructed at this location. Atlantic City Boardwalk crowd in front of Blenheim hotel, 1911 (retouched) The Traymore Hotel was located at the corner of Illinois Avenue and the boardwalk.

Begun in 1879 as a small boarding house, the hotel grew through a series of uncoordinated expansions. By 1914, the hotel's owner, Daniel White, taking a hint from the Marlborough-Blenheim, commissioned the firm of Price and McLanahan to build an even bigger hotel. Rising 16 stories, the tan brick and gold-capped hotel would become one of the city's best-known landmarks. The hotel made use of ocean-facing hotel rooms by jutting its wings farther from the main portion of the hotel along Pacific Avenue.

One by one, additional large hotels were constructed along the boardwalk, including the Brighton, Chelsea, Shelburne, Ambassador, Ritz Carlton, Mayflower, Madison House, and the Breakers. The Quaker-owned Chalfonte House, opened in 1868, and Haddon House, opened in 1869, flanked North Carolina Avenue at the beach end. Over the years, their original wood-frame structures would be enlarged, and even moved closer to the beach. The modern Chalfonte Hotel, eight stories tall, opened in 1904. The modern Haddon Hall was built in stages and was completed in 1929, at eleven stories. By this time, they were under the same ownership and merged into the, becoming the city's largest hotel with nearly 1,000 rooms.

By 1930, the Claridge, the city's last large hotel before the casinos, opened its doors. The 400-room Claridge was built by a partnership that included renowned Philadelphia contractor. At 24 stories, it would become known as the 'Skyscraper By The Sea.' The city became known as 'The World's Playground'. In 1883, was conceived in Atlantic City by David Bradley.

The traditional story is that Bradley's shop was flooded after a major storm, soaking his taffy with salty Atlantic Ocean water. He sold some 'salt water taffy' to a girl, who proudly walked down to the beach to show her friends. Bradley's mother was in the back of the store when the sale was made, and loved the name, and so was born. Prohibition era [ ] The 1920s, with tourism at its peak, are considered by many historians as Atlantic City's golden age. During, which was enacted nationally in 1919 and lasted until 1933, much liquor was consumed and gambling regularly took place in the back rooms of nightclubs and restaurants. It was during Prohibition that and political boss rose to power.

Prohibition was largely unenforced in Atlantic City, and, because alcohol that had been smuggled into the city with the acquiescence of local officials could be readily obtained at restaurants and other establishments, the resort's popularity grew further. The city then dubbed itself as 'The World's Playground'. Nucky Johnson's income, which reached as much as $500,000 annually, came from the he took on illegal liquor, gambling and prostitution operating in the city, as well as from kickbacks on construction projects. During this time, Atlantic City was under the mayoral reign of, known for his contributions to the construction, athletics and aviation of Atlantic City. Despite the opposition of many others, he purchased land that became the city's municipal airport and high school football stadium, both of which were later named in his honor. He led the initiative, in 1923, to construct the at Albany and Atlantic Avenues.

Bader, in November 1923, initiated a public referendum, during the general election, at which time residents approved the construction of a Convention Center. The city passed an ordinance approving a bond issue for $1.5 million to be used for the purchase of land for Convention Hall, now known as the, finalized September 30, 1924. Bader was also a driving force behind the creation of the competition. From May 13 to May 16 in 1929, Johnson hosted a for figures from all across America that created a nationwide crime syndicate. The men who called this meeting were and former, with heads of the, and, being used as muscle for the meeting. Nightclub era [ ] The 1930s through the 1960s were a heyday for nightclub entertainment. Popular venues on the white-populated south side included the, the, and the.

On the north side, home to in the racially segregated city, a black entertainment district reigned on Kentucky Avenue. Four major nightclubs –, the,, and – drew both black and white patrons. During the summer tourist season, jazz and R&B music could be heard into the wee hours of the morning. Restaurants and joints also lined Kentucky Avenue, including, Jerry's and Sap's.

Decline and resurgence [ ]. From the boardwalk Like many older east coast cities after World War II, Atlantic City became plagued with poverty, crime, corruption, and general economic decline in the mid-to-late 20th century. The neighborhood known as the 'Inlet' became particularly impoverished. The reasons for the resort's decline were multi-layered. First, the automobile became more readily available to many Americans after the war. Atlantic City had initially relied upon visitors coming by train and staying for a couple of weeks. The car allowed them to come and go as they pleased, and many people would spend only a few days, rather than weeks.

The advent of suburbia also played a significant role. With many families moving to their own private houses, luxuries such as home air conditioning and swimming pools diminished their interest in flocking to the luxury beach resorts during the hot summer. But perhaps the biggest factor in the decline in Atlantic City's popularity came from cheap, fast jet service to other premier resorts, such as and the.

From Pacific Avenue The city hosted the which nominated for President and as Vice President. The convention and the press coverage it generated, however, cast a harsh light on Atlantic City, which by then was in the midst of a long period of economic decline.

Many felt that the friendship between Johnson and led Atlantic City to host the Democratic Convention. By the late 1960s, many of the resort's once great hotels were suffering from embarrassing vacancy rates. Most of them were either shut down, converted to cheap apartments, or converted to nursing home facilities by the end of the decade. Prior to and during the advent of legalized, many of these hotels were demolished. The Breakers, the Chelsea, the Brighton, the Shelburne, the Mayflower, the and the were demolished in the 1970s and 1980s. Of the many pre-casino resorts that bordered the boardwalk, only the Claridge, the Dennis, the, and the Haddon Hall survive to this day as parts of, a condo complex, and.

The old Ambassador Hotel was purchased by Ramada in 1978 and was gutted to become the, only reusing the steelwork of the original building. Smaller hotels off the boardwalk, such as the also survived. Main article: In an effort at revitalizing the city, New Jersey voters in 1976 passed a referendum, approving gambling for Atlantic City; this came after a 1974 referendum on legalized gambling failed to pass. Immediately after the legislation passed, the owners of the began converting it into the Resorts International. It was the first legal casino in the eastern United States when it opened on May 26, 1978. Other casinos were soon constructed along the Boardwalk and, later, in the marina district for a total of eleven today. The introduction of gambling did not, however, quickly eliminate many of the urban problems that plagued Atlantic City.

Many people have suggested that it only served to exacerbate those problems, as attested to by the stark contrast between tourism intensive areas and the adjacent impoverished working-class neighborhoods. In addition, Atlantic City has been less popular than Las Vegas as a gambling city in the United States. Helped bring big name boxing bouts to the city to attract customers to his casinos. The boxer had most of his fights in Atlantic City in the 1980s, which helped Atlantic City achieve nationwide attention as a gambling resort.

Numerous were built for use as permanent residences or second homes. By end of the decade it was one of the most popular tourist destinations in the United States. Modern day challenges [ ]. Night time view of Atlantic City With the redevelopment of and the opening of two casinos in in the early 1990s, along with newly built casinos in the nearby in the 2000s, Atlantic City's tourism began to decline due to its failure to diversify away from gaming. Determined to expand, in 1999 the Atlantic City Redevelopment Authority partnered with Las Vegas casino mogul to develop a new roadway to a barren section of the city near the Marina. Nicknamed 'The Tunnel Project', Steve Wynn planned the proposed 'Mirage Atlantic City' around the idea that he would connect the $330 million tunnel stretching 2.5 miles (4.0 km) from the to his new resort.

The roadway was later officially named the, and funnels incoming traffic off of the expressway into the city's marina district and. Although Wynn's plans for development in the city were scrapped in 2002, the tunnel opened in 2001. The new roadway prompted Boyd Gaming in partnership with MGM/Mirage to build Atlantic City's newest casino.

Opened in July 2003, and its success brought an influx of developers to Atlantic City with plans for building grand Las Vegas style mega casinos to revitalize the aging city. Owing to economic conditions and the, many of the proposed mega casinos never went further than the initial planning stages.

One of these developers was, who purchased the, only to close it permanently November 11, 2006. The following year, the resort was demolished in a dramatic, Las Vegas styled implosion, the first of its kind in Atlantic City. While Pinnacle Entertainment intended to replace it with a $1.5–2 billion casino resort, the company canceled its construction plans and plans to sell the land. The biggest disappointment was when announced that it would pull out of all development for Atlantic City, effectively ending their plans for the. View of Atlantic City (top left) and ocean, 2011 In 2006, purchased 20 acres (8.1 ha) directly north of the for a new $2 billion plus casino resort.

Was named as the project's developer for the. Revel was hindered with many problems, the biggest setback occurring in April 2010 when Morgan Stanley, the owner of 90% of Revel Entertainment Group, decided to discontinue funding for continued construction and put its stake in Revel up for sale. Early in 2010 the New Jersey state legislature passed a bill offering tax incentives to attract new investors and complete the job, but a poll by 's released in March 2010 showed that 60% of voters opposed the legislation, and two of three of those who opposed it 'strongly' opposed it. Ultimately, Governor offered Revel $261 million in state tax credits to assist the casino once it opened. As of March 2011, Revel had completed all of the exterior work and had continued work on the interior after finally receiving the funding necessary to complete construction.

It had a soft opening in April 2012, and was fully open by May 2012. Ten months later, in February 2013, after serious losses and a write-down in the value of the resort from $2.4 billion to $450 million, Revel filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. It was restructured but still could not carry on and re-entered bankruptcy on June 19, 2014.

It was put up for sale, however as no suitable bids were received the resort closed its doors on September 2, 2014. In the wake of the closures and declining revenue from casinos, Governor Christie said in September 2014 that the state would consider a 2015 referendum to end the 40-year-old monopoly that Atlantic City holds on casino gambling and allowing gambling in other municipalities. With casino revenue declining from $5.2 billion in 2006 to $2.9 billion in 2013, the state saw a drop in money from its 8% tax on those earnings, which is used to fund programs for senior citizens and the disabled. ' struck Atlantic City on October 29, 2012, causing flooding and power-outages but left minimal damage to any of the tourist areas including the Boardwalk and casino resorts, despite widespread belief that the city's boardwalk had been destroyed.
