Wildwood History
The history of the resort town of Wildwood located in Southern NJ began when Henry Hudson, in 1609 sailed into Delaware Bay thinking he had found the Northwest Passage. Upon realizing his mistake, he navigated around Cape May and sailed northward along the N.J. coast. The crew observed a wide beautiful beach with a lush green forested background. This land, call the Island of Five Mile Beach, became today's Wildwoods.
The Lenni Lenape Indians cut trails through the woods and the land was used by farmers from the mainland for grazing, before being settled by fishermen who named the area Anglesea. Construction of a railroad and a bridge permitted easier access to the island for further settlement, and Anglesea rapidly grew into the Wildwoods.
Today, the Wildwoods consisting of North Wildwood, Wildwood City, Wildwood Crest and Diamond Beach has been a major resort town known for its expansive beautiful beaches, recreational activities, and famous boardwalk.
