23 minute mark is point pleasant 👌
Very good video but the music is too loud . I want to hear more of the history !
Really interesting historical remembrance. I really enjoyed. My folks took me to the Jersey Shore as early as the 40 's...
Wow that must have been a great time to go to the shore! Thank you!
Great stuff
there's something missing! Oh i know...Fat people!
1:07 - I knew that guy when he was the pastor of a church, maybe 20 years ago. I had forgotten that he grew up in Atlantic City.
I only met Norman for that one interview. He was a great guy! Great historian and very, very knowledgeable!
@@historyofthejerseyshore Yes, Norman Goos. He started a church in Egg Harbor City. But he's now a member of the Sons of the Revolution, and is involved in a lot of historical stuff. It was interesting to see him in your interview.
@@MillerMeteor74 That's great to know. He seems like the go-to-guy for historical information in that area. He's also featured in other videos on the channel if you're interested in watching: The First Settlers, The First Resorts, Early Atlantic City. All of the videos can also be found in the full documentary I recently posted. Thanks for watching!
By the way, they're all great people at the Atlantic County Historical Society where I filmed the interviews. If you get a chance you should stop in.
Atlantic City has been my favorite getaway since a child. I live in PA. I love the genuine loving and kind people of the Northeast. We go way back. Nothing like New Jersey Beaches. This is our playground. 😂 ❤
Awesome! 😃👍
It’s sad that seaside heights got smaller because of a hurricane but I’m glad they still have some of the old rides form old seaside heights Anyways great video
I agree 100%. It did change some after the hurricane but I'm glad they kept some rides, shops, and arcades. Thank you the compliment! So glad you liked the video 🙂🤩
Great job! We like to listen to some kind of story while falling off to sleep…. This piece however requires more attention because of its interest and compilation of historical facts…an added bonus to our recent trip to the lower shoreline of the Jersey Shore after 62 years of visiting various towns, North to South. We will be sharing this! Thank You
Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. Hope you had a great time on your recent trip to the Jersey Shore! Hopefully you can come back again soon with a little more added insight. The uniqueness to each town has always been part of the charm for me. 🙂⛱👍
I really like this video. But I think the narration is too quick, I can't keep up with the pace!
Thank you! That's funny because I've also received comments that it's too slow. The more current RUclips videos are very fast-paced.
tell them to change the playback speed!
@@vs-yy5cx 👍👍👍
👏 Wonderful documentary of the Jersey shore. I hope they add more about some of thr other beach towns
Thank you, Mary! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. 🙂 The video titled "An Historical Journey from North to South" touches a little bit on all the major Jersey Shore beach towns.
Beach fees started here at Bradley Beach as the hole in the town budget caused by that huge temple on Ocean Avenue left the town council with no alternative.They're the first ones to scream separation of church and state when they imagined that they're being threatened.
Interesting
As a CG STA Atlantic City and CG STA Ocean City vet, myself and LOTS of vets who served there can attest that their hauntings are incontrovertable. So many GREAT memories. Miss NJ dearly.
Wow! It's fascinating to hear first-hand testimony. Hope you're able to come back for a visit soon! 🙂
Went in the late 60's -early 70's with my parents...vacationed with our children in the early 90's ...never knew of it's rich history. (rock and roll as wel)...one of the many jewels of the Jersey shore...😊❤️
Wildwood really does have an AMAZING history! You must have had a blast on your trips there. 🙂
My brothers and I are Born and Raised on LBI, living in Holgate, Beach Haven, North Beach Haven, and Shipbottom. We grew up in the 80s-90s and have the best memories, hanging out at Ron Jon’s, Pier 18, Fantasy Island, the arcades, renting moves from MR.Movies. I hate that during one of the nasty hurricanes between 97-2010, we lost nearly all our summer fun videos, so seeing any images of LBI even before we were born I love because it might be Hen my parents, grandparents, or great grandparents were living on the island.
Lucky you that you got to grow up om LBI! 🙂 But I'm so sorry you lost all those precious videos. 🙁 They can't be replaced but your memories will last forever.
Sad to say that Point Pleasant Beach have been picking the pockets of tourists for many years and making people very paranoid about being there, I was there yesterday parking 20 bucks beach 13 bucks total rip off glad I turned away and said sorry this place is all about taking your money....and the cops are even worse, not a friendly family place anymore. This place was great in the 60's and 70's through the 80's then it got greedy...Def a place to stay away from...
That is so sad to hear. Those prices! Thankfully we got to enjoy it in the 60s, 70s, and 80s.
@@historyofthejerseyshore yes very sad and the police have such bad attitudes as well down there...they deserve to have no tourists at all...
@@jesrusso4682 🙁
1854 - The same year that another summer resort was founded, Mount Washington, then about five miles northwest of the City of Baltimore. By 1918, the year Mount Washington was absorbed into Baltimore City. By then, the place was a year round neighborhood.
Good information but the narrator's voice is 9ff putting. Kit sounds like hebis reading a school report. Great pictures though. I will check out the transcript also.
Thanks Virginia. Can you tell me which chapters are off putting? Or, is it though out the video?
@@historyofthejerseyshore I loved the documentary! I did find the 1st narrator a bit slow in presenting but after that Very Enjoyable!
@@hiss3 Thank you! I'm so glad you loved it. 🙂 I kept trying to fix the audio in spots but once it's recorded its hard to fix unless you record it all over again.
Who is the narrator? At times he sounds like Kevin Costner.
@@sheilasrock9424 it's just me. 😀 Thank you so much for the compliment! I'm a big fan of Kevin Costner's.
👍👍..................
music is beautiful. great work on this
Thank you! So happy you enjoyed it 🙂
Hard to believe there was a time not to long where 3 out of 4 Americans were not fat pigs and Sally Struthers was a hottie.
Cousin Brucie! Italian hot dogs.
🤩
Lots of gorgeous bikini beach beauties in the 1960's, 1970's at the Seaside beaches in New Jersey, awesome video!!
Thank you! Beach beauties you bet! 🙂
I met my wife in Ocean City back in 1991 and we are still together to this day! I love you, Gloria!!!
Beautiful! 🙂
Better times. People could afford houses. No cell phones. No internet. No fat people. Love it.
No Indians no brown people
I dearly miss NJ
That was good :)
Thanks! That's so great that you liked it. :)
From age10 ln1956 my family would stay a week in Ship Bottom long Beach Island by the ocean..this would be every Summer till I was 18...
Those must be some great times that you'll always remember. 🙂
People even dressed for the beach. They must have been uncomfortable on those hot days. A different age for sure.
The slow progression to where we are today is pretty fascinating.
Most of those Blue Laws should have been repealed decades earlier. Some examples were: You could buy a egg sandwich...but you couldn't buy a dozen eggs. You could buy a Playboy Magazine...but you couldn't buy a Bible (because it was hardback.) You could buy a ham sandwich...but you couldn't buy a 1/2 lb. of sliced ham. You could buy a hamburger...but you couldn't buy a pound of ground beef. You couldn't buy toys (including buckets and shovels for the beach), batteries, clothing, canned goods or just about anything else. I remember in the late 70's until the Blue Laws were repealed, many Boardwalk stores would open at 12:01AM Monday for an hour or two so visitors could make purchases before "heading home" after the weekend. P.S. Swimming and going to the beach on Sunday's was either overturned or not enforced many decades before Blue Laws were repealed.
Been a south Jersey resident all my life and I love the NJ Shore. I grew up going to Ocean City. Thanks a huge for this video.
Thanks a huge for watching! So glad you like it. South Jersey Shore rocks....
@@historyofthejerseyshore agreed 👍
'AB••SEEKEN' island
What about the boardwalk fire after super storm Sandy?
That was pretty wild
Unfortunately, now it is the mecca for homosexuality, and all forms of sexual deviance, and degeneracy.. It used to be a place to take children.. Now you need to protect children from this place ,it's inhabitints , and perverted tourists.. Sad.
Only mentioned Brigantine once. I adore that island.
I love it too! Your comment could be applied to lot of great shore spots. I tried my best to give proportionate time to each place according to how many people visit them. A lot of spots just got a mention because they simply needed to be recognized.
My parents would take us to A.C. for a cool evening. I remember two things..... a place with an old school tin ceiling with high ceiling fans where we would get some watermelon....and Mr. Peanut's hot roasted peanuts..
Cool! That Mr. Peanut was on the boardwalk for a looong time haha. 😀
Thank you for this video. I live on Chincoteague Island Va ( born and bred Jersey Girl)....a friend ( a great friend!!) insisted on driving down to get me and my dogs and parrot....the further north we drove, the worse it got. We made it to Bensalem Pa and was not but 2 miles from her house when we were rear ended by a clown car full of south of the border people from Va. on Street Road ( I know they were from Va because I got out and their Va license plate was laying there). Ugh.... what a shit shit show. Later ,after our adventure at Torresdale Hospital I saw footage down the shore of the boards being plucked up by the winds and the houses being pushed off their foundations....Well... thanks again for the video.
Thank for watching! Sounds like you had a crazy adventure during Sandy. So many people have stories. Believe it or not a lot of people still have stories of the 62 storm. Thanks again and I hope everything turned out OK after the storm.
Great video. Tremendously annoying background music.
Thank you! Do you think I should remove the music completely?
Interesting videos. I live in Pt Pleasant. Thanks for the content. Helpful tip, music is too loud.
Thanks! I know, I received a lot of comments about that. I'm almost done with a new re-edited version of the entire movie. So, if you want, check out the new Seaside and Point Pleasant chapters in that. It should be out next week.
Thanks for doing this! I grew up on one of the islands you talked about, and have always been fascinated with the history of the area. I attended OCHS, and worked summer jobs at various businesses, fleecing the tourists every Summer in the 1970s. Lots of great memories, being an "island kid."
You're welcome...thank you for watching! 🙂 That must have been great growing up on the island. You're so lucky! 🍀⛱🙂
The Red Bank Bank opened a branch in Long Branch and it was called, the Long Branch branch of the Red Bank Bank...
Now that's funny! 😂
@@historyofthejerseyshore I lament the destruction of the Asbury Park Casino and 1875 copper repousse Carousel house.. It was the sort of architecture that people from all over the world would come to see. the Casino has been repaired for the elements but historically it is a disaster... It's just gone forever
@@Larkinchance it is sad. All things must pass but they choose such garbage to replace them.
On my way to Cape May Point in one month. Can’t wait. Big yellow house next to the Lighthouse!!
Love that yellow house next to the lighthouse. Have a great time on the Point!
The paintings are exquisite.
Convention Hall did not host the pageant until 1939. It left in 1942-1945 due to the war and return to convention Hall in 1946.
I’m surprised you did not cover the battle of Turtle Gut, where Wildwood Crest currently is.
I know, I should have! I could have added so many other stories also, about the Revolutionary War and how NJ played such an historic role with all the heroism along our coast. It's fascinating but I just wasn't sure if a lot of people would be interested. Thanks for your comment and interest in the video!
In the write-up, you state that 'Wildwood', was established first, but, 'Holly Beach' was actually the first, to be incorporated. The name change to 'Wildwood', took place in 1912. You also said that, The 'Crest Pier' was built in 1905. That may be true, but the 'Jackrabbbit' Rollor Coaster, was on the old 'Marine West Pier' (Cedar-Skellinger Aves), built approximately, 1919ish. The Crest Pier (in Wildwood Crest. Crocus and Atlantic) was a huge wooden dancehall, used as a basketball court, and other summer events. Later on, another annex was built, where a permanent basketball court, was built. Adventure Pier used to be named 'Fun Pier', 'till the '80's. Mariner's Landing was called 'Marine Pier', also 'till the '80's. During the documentary, you pronounced Creese, as 'Cress'. It has a long ē, at the end. And that the borough of Wildwood, was incorporated in 1895, when it was Holly Beach. Wildwood was never a borough, as it's a 'city'. You left out Juniper Ave, and most importantly, Holly Beachs' 1st. street, to be made; 'Cedar' (I believe).
Thanks, I did look into your post. You are correct in that the "e" in Cresse is not silent and I could have mentioned the other streets that were named after native trees of the island. I do mention that Holly Beach was the first to be established but fail to mention that it was the first to be incorporated. Perhaps, you overlooked that I do mention Mariner's Landing originally being Marine Pier. Thanks for pointing out that Crest Pier was also used for basketball.
Damn you forgot about the world famous Monster Bowl Skatepark!
What the heck is wrong with me 🙃
Great video very nicely narrated. Familiar with all the spots
Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed it. 🙂🙃
Rip to all the people who died and respect to the man who survived injured and ofc respect to all of them
