The transformation of the Jersey Shore from quiet agricultural communities to a vibrant summer destination is vividly explored through the stories of influential figures like Joel Hayward and the Albert brothers. Beginning in the mid-nineteenth century, Atlantic City emerged as a resort hub, attracting diverse visitors and entertainers. As the twentieth century progressed, the focus shifted to residential development, with establishments like the Smithville Inn catering to long-term guests. Historian Randall Gabrielan chronicles this evolution, highlighting the region's rich cultural heritage.
