Atlantic City was founded in 1854 and soon became a seaside resort surpassing all others, earning the nickname �Queen of Resorts.� Chronicling the glory of the city from 1900 to 1930, these vintage postcards depict a time when visitors were eager to stroll on a local invention, the boardwalk; frolic on the beach; ride a rolling chair; and buy saltwater taffy. The annual Easter parade and Miss America Pageant became Atlantic City traditions.
Amusement piers offered vaudeville, band concerts, thrill rides, diving horses, fishnet hauls, and more. Visitors stayed in grand hotels, among the
largest and finest in the world. Through more than 200 postcard images, the amazing spirit of this historic resort town is revealed.
