Atlantic City stands as a dense grid at the southern end of Absecon Beach, marking its early development as a premier coastal destination in the late nineteenth century. The town is remarkably connected to the mainland by a dense network of iron rails, including the Camden and Atlantic Railroad, Philadelphia & Atlantic City Railroad, and the West Jersey and Atlantic Railroad. These lines cut across the wetlands of Absecon Bay, illustrating the massive infrastructure required to support the burgeoning resort economy.
