Description
Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey 1894.
This reproduction panoramic view of Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey was published by O. H. Bailey & Co. in 1894. Atlantic Highlands was first incorporated as a borough in Monmouth County just seven years prior to this map's publishing. The Raritan Bay resort community began attracting vacationers in the late 1800's. New Yorkers found the Bayshore region a desirable get-a-way which bolstered the town's economy. Atlantic Highlands quickly changed from a modest farming community into a formal vacation town with several grand hotels and Victorian homes and businesses with transportation provided by rail or steamer. The 1894 Atlantic Highlands town booster reads:
"The most attractive resort on the Jersey Coast. Very desirable advantage offered in choice location.
Splendid scenery and easy accessibility.
Permanent population, 1881 40; in 1893, 2000. Summer population, 1881 0; in 1893 6000.
Two hundred houses built in the last two years. Broad, shady avenues, beautiful drives, excellent boating, bathing and fishing.
Complete system of Water Works and Sewerage.
Terminus of Sandy Hook Route of C. R. R. of N. J. One hour from New York by the fast and superbly appointed steamers "Sandy Hook", "Monmouth" and "St. Johns".
