Atlantic City, Coastal resort city in New Jersey, United States
Atlantic City spans along the Atlantic Ocean with a 5.5-mile boardwalk connecting numerous casino resorts and entertainment establishments on the beachfront.
The transformation of Atlantic City began in 1854 when the Camden and Atlantic Railroad established a direct connection to Philadelphia, initiating its growth as a tourist destination.
The Miss America pageant originated in Atlantic City during 1921, maintaining its presence as a nationally recognized competition until the final event in 2018.
The Atlantic City Airport serves visitors year-round, while the boardwalk provides access to multiple casinos, hotels, restaurants, and entertainment venues within walking distance.
Despite being at sea level with an elevation of just 2 meters, Atlantic City introduced the first boardwalk in the United States on June 26, 1870.
