Sea Isle City and the surrounding barrier islands appear here during a period of rapid development along the Jersey Shore in the late nineteenth century. The West Jersey Railroad provides a vital link across the marshlands, connecting the mainland settlements of Seaville and Ocean View to the emerging coastal resorts. This transit infrastructure was essential for the growth of these seaside communities before the era of modern bridges.
