Historic Map - Ocean Grove & Asbury Park, NJ - 1881
Description
Reproduction panoramic view map of Ocean Grove and Asbury Park, New Jersey drawn and published by Thaddeus Mortimer Fowler in 1881. The beachfront communities of Ocean Grove and Asbury Park were established in the late 1800's. Ocean Park in 1869, followed closely by Asbury Park. Methodist ministers founded Ocean Grove as a Christian camp community enticing New Yorkers and Pennsylvanians to enjoy the seashore by way of the New York and Long Branch Railroad. A well was completed in 1870 and streets were laid out, some using biblical names. In 1877, over 700,000 railway tickets were sold for the Ocean Grove-Asbury Park train station. Asbury Park was developed by New York brush manufacturer James Adam Bradley, who was closely associated with the Ocean Grove Meeting Association. Bradley purchased the land between Wesley and Deal Lakes and named the new community after Methodist Episcopal bishop Francis Asbury. The map shows the area's many luxury hotels of the era as well as the popular boardwalk.
The map from 1881 includes clearly labeled streets, buildings, beaches, boardwalks, railroad lines and Wesley Lake.
