Description

When the Germans came to Atlantic County in 1855, they imagined a community with an urban center surrounded by a farm district.

This would be a great industrial and agricultural community, served by direct railroad and maritime connections to Philadelphia and New York City.

In 1858, the urban center these pioneers envisioned became Egg Harbor City.

Eleven miles toward the coast is Pleasantville. Originally home to fishing and whaling settlers, it officially became a municipality in 1888.

Its proximity to the increasingly popular Atlantic City helped Pleasantville to grow and prosper.

Egg Harbor City and Pleasantville showcases the rich history of these two communities through a unique collection of historical images.
