The Atlantic City Boardwalk has a wide and varied history. The areas first population went there because it offered good food in a comfortable and friendly atmosphere. This sounds a great deal like the area today, but it took place before the 1600's. The visitors were the Lenni-Lenapes Indians. They traveled a trail that led from the mainland to "summer" on Absecon Island, the home of Atlantic City. Today the trail would be where Florida Ave is located. It was at least five miles over the marsh but it led them to the bay waters and abundant wildlife the island offered. Even though Thomas Budd was the first owner of the land, he wasn't the first to build a permanent structure on it. Budd received the land as a settlement. Then, while the mainland property had the high value if forty cents an acre, due to the potential of farming, the seashore beachfront was valued at a mere four cents an acre since it was relatively useless for anything. This took place in the 1670's but there were no permanent buildings on the island until Jeremiah Leads built his log cabin in 1785. The family continued to live on the island and at his death in 1837, his second wife Millicent built a boarding house...more
