Description
Beach Babies Cape May is a recent addition to my Jersey Shore series. All photographs are taken at beaches in New Jersey.Something you might like to check out on your visit to Cape May is their zoo it is rated very highly and the admission is free. The city was named for Dutch captain Cornelius Jacobsen Mey who explored and charted the area between 1611-1614.What is now Cape May was originally formed as the borough of Cape Island by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 8, 1848.It was reincorporated as Cape Island City on March 10, 1851, and finally became Cape May City as of March 9, 1869.Vacationers from Philadelphia started flocking to the area in the mid 18th century and it is recognized as the country's oldest seaside resort.It became increasingly popular in the 18th century and was considered one of the finest resorts in America by the 19th century. In 1878 a five-day-long fire destroyed square blocks of the town center and as part of the reconstruction efforts replacement homes were built in Victorian style.As a result of this and of more recent preservation efforts, Cape May is noted for its large number of well-maintained Victorian houses .. the second largest collection of such homes in the nation after San Francisco. In 1976, the entire city of Cape May was officially designated a National Historic Landmark as the Cape May Historic District. Cape May is the only city in the United States designated This way to ensure the architectural preservation of these buildings.
