Hi there!<\/span><\/p>\n

Actually, we started this long road trip from Los Angeles to East Coast in June 2021. We stopped several states.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After we visited with my husband’s family, we drove to a city not far from New York called Atlantic City.<\/strong> It is famous for its casinos and big hotels.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of his cousins works at a casino as a dealer. So we wanted to go there to see him. So we left New York City on Thursday, July 8, 2021<\/strong>, in the morning. We drove about 130 miles in 2hours driving to Atlantic City. We used Interstate 95 and 9.<\/span><\/p>\n

The history of Atlantic City<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Long before Atlantic City was founded, it was thick with woods and lined with dunes.\u00a0 It was the summer home of the<\/strong> Lenni Lenape Indians<\/strong>, an Algonquian-speaking people. Early colonial settlers in South Jersey largely ignored the island because it could only be reached by boat. <\/span><\/p>\n

Then Jeremiah Leeds was the first to build a residence on this island in1783. By1850, the potential attraction of the island’s cool breezes and beaches was recognized, and the idea for developing a resort was first prompted by Dr. Jonathan Pitney, a local physician.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The railway business helped develop this city and brought many tourists from other places. The Camden-Atlantic rail line was completed at a little over $1.2 million at that time. A civil engineer from Philadelphia, Richard B. Osborne<\/strong>, designed the city layout and named the place Atlantic City<\/strong><\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
