Historic Map - Atlantic Highlands, NJ - 1894
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.
