Today In History: Atlantic City Boardwalk

Atlantic City, N.J. Bathers, 1890-1910



On June 26, 1870, Atlantic City unveiled the first section of it's famed Boardwalk to the visitors to the New Jersey Shore.

From Today In History:

"Early bathers wore bathing dresses of wool flannel with stockings, canvas shoes, and large straw hats. The more daring bloomer suits and stockings worn by these bathing beauties were not introduced until 1907. Censors roamed the beaches monitoring bathers' self-exposure and looking for offenders who showed more flesh than the local code allowed."

Narcs. Have 'em now, had 'em then. Sluts, have 'em now, had 'em then. Nothing changes, people.

No need to sugar coat the past.

They had to wear WOOL BATHINGSUITS FOR CRYIN' OUT LOUD!

Happy 136th Birthday To You, Atlantic City Boardwalk! I don't care what anybody says about you, I love you, Atlantic City. See you in August.

Happy Summer, people!
