                                                A BRIEF HISTORY OF SEASIDE HEIGHTS

By 1915, Seaside Heights was well along the way to becoming New Jersey's "Family Fun and Sun Resort." It had two new hotels, and the Seaside Heights Amusement Company had plans to build a theater and carousel, along with billiard, pool, and shuffleboard rooms. An amusement park had recently opened between Seaside Heights and Seaside Park. In late 1915, the first toll bridge (construction cost: $153,477.90) was opened across Barnegat Bay, linking Seaside Heights to Toms River and the mainland. Visitors to the area no longer had to travel there by boat or train.

From 1917, and for four years thereafter, the first three blocks of the boardwalk were built. A major fire in 1955 destroyed it and its many amusements. Today, thousands of visitors stroll along the rebuilt and lengthened (to one mile) boardwalk, the construction of which resulted in the building of new homes, hotels, and motels.

In the 1900s, a land development company began a campaign to entice Philadelphia-area residents to build summer homes in Seaside Heights. From 1909 and for several years thereafter, the company offered train trips to the area, where land costs were quite reasonable ($100 for a 40-foot beachfront lot), and the ocean air was invigorating. The combination was irresistible, and the area burgeoned. In 1913, Seaside Heights was incorporated as a borough.
