Chapter IV: The Boardwalk
1The following three paragraphs on the construction of Atlantic City's boardwalks are drawn from Frank M. Butler, The Book of the Boardwalk and the Atlantic City Story (Atlantic City, NJ: Haines and Co., 1952), 2-14. Among the many "firsts" Butler claims for Atlantic City are the boardwalk, the rolling chair, and the postcard.
2Funnell, 3-7. The Camden and Atlantic Railroad and the Camden and Atlantic Land Company were created by the same investors.
6The builders of the five boardwalks were as follows: 1) George Bryant and William Weeks; 2) Henry Disston and sons; 3) labor hired by the city, E.V. Corson providing most materials; 4) John W. Bowen and Simon L. Wescoat; 5) the Pheonix Bridge Company. See Frank M. Butler, 14.

The American Post Office Department issued a plain "postal card" in 1873. The popularity of picture postcards as Atlantic City souvenirs must have caused many to believe they were another boardwalk "first."

52The Burlington Island Park operated as early as 1902, when it attracted more than 4,000 people. Until 1917, Burlington Island Park contained a single merry-go-round (probably the one under discussion), picnic tables, swings, and an open pavilion. In 1917 George Bassler and Robert Merkel improved train and steamboat service and added a giant roller coaster.
