From Lewis T. Stevens’ “History of Cape May CouUty,” Published si the Herald Offce at Two Doilarsjper Copy, We Quote Facts Concerning the Resort’s History of Three and Four Decades Ago

The Ocean House was erected about 1832 by Israel Learning, and was located on the east side of Perry street, between Washington street and the beach. After the old Mansion House, the next bouse was built by Mrs. Reynolds, called the American, with accommodations for 125 guests. About 1834 the steamer “Portsmouth” began to make weekly trips to Cape May and Lewestown. In later years she was followed by the “Wilmon WhHldin," “Kent," “Rip Van Winkle," "Zephyr,” "Wave,” "Mountaineer” and others. The first Methodist Episcopal society in Cape May City was formed in December, 1837, and fourteen years aftef this, 1843, the first church was erected near the site of the present one, and it is now the A. M. E. Church, on Franklin street Socrates Townsend, Israel Townsend, Jonas Miller, Israel Learning and Jeremiah Church were the most active workers for its foundation. Joseph Ware was the builder, and Rev. Clark Policy was the first preacher. He was also the first town Superintendent of Schools for Cape Island. The church is now located on Washington street having been last rebuilt in 1893. In 1846 the Old Columbia Hotel was built extending from Ocean to Decatur street, erected by George Hildreth. Messrs. Harwood and Bolton were its proprietors. The Merchants was built on the site of the New Columbia and Messrs. Mason and Eldredge were its proprietors before it was swept away in 1878. The Centre House, erected in 1840, was kept by Jeremiah Mccray on the comer of Jackson and Washington streets, until the fire destroyed it with the rest in 1878. The New Atlantic was built in 1840, and conducted by Benjamin, Joe and John McMackin until its destruction in 1878. V •" . Oh Decatur street stood the Madison, whose coostruction dated from 1845. National Hall was erected in about 1850 by Aaron Garrets© n. The firs. Baptist Society was formed about 1844, and a church was erected in the spring of 1845. It was replaced in 1879 by the present one, costing some $19,000. The first pastor was Rev. M. B. Tindall. The following were the original members of the church: Isaac Church, Philip Hand, George Stratton, Stephen Muliord, Alexander A. Shaw, John Price, Thomas McKain, William Price, John K. Church, Aaron Schellenger, Rebecca H. Church, Sarah H. Hand, Abigail F. Stratton, Hetty Barnett, El nor Fisher, Jane E. Shaw, Elizabeth McKain, Phoebe Webb, Louisa M. Schellenger, Elizabeth Brooks, Elia Burch, Mary Learning, Kcziah Price, Isabella Stevens and Hannah Robertson. s, * The need of local government was apparent mid Assemblyman Richard S. Ludlam began a movement in the Legislaturc which on March 8, 1848, terminated in the passage of the act “to incorporate Cape Island into a borough.” This instrument named James Mecray chief burgess; James Clark, assistant burgess; Thomas B. Hughes, high constable, and William Casaedy, borough clerk; and these men were to constitute the government, with an assessor and collector of taxes, until the first Tuesday of May, 1849, when the people were from year to year to choose their successors. Tbg government existed until 1851, when in Much the Wfcislature incorporated the “City of Cape Island.” There was a mayor, six coundlmen, sn alderman and a recorder, who as a body were legislators for the new city. The first Council met in the school house on the comer lot of Franklin and Lafayette streets (south side), on Saturday evening, March 15, 1851. There were present Isaac M. Church, Mayor; Waters B. Wilier, Alderman; Joseph S. Leach, Recorder, snd Junes S. Kennedy, David Pierson, John G. W. Ware, Joseph Ware, Aaron Gsrretson snd James Mecray, Coundlmen. The only thing done that evening was the election of Charles T. Johnson, s carpenter, as City Clerk. The Presbyterian Church was organised June 25, 1851, by a committee of the Presbytery of West Jersey. The present church was erected in 185^. St. Mary’s Roman Catholic Church was erected about 1848, on the opposite side of Washington street from where it stands to-day. It was in about 1870 reeved to its present location. In the advertisement of summer resort hotels in 1858 the.following were the bouses and their proprietors: Columbia House, L. Harwood; Atlantic House, J. and B. McMackin; Ocean House, Israel Learning; Delaware House, James Mecray; National Hall, Aaron Gsrretson; Washington Hotel, S. G. Wool roan; Merchants’ House, John Lyons; Tontine Hotel, George L. Ludlam; White Hall Hold, S. S. Marcy. In 1859 Congress Hall snd the Morphy. House were added to the list of advertisers. A writer in "The Knickerbocker Magazine,” New York, of August, 1859, says: "The neighborhood of which we are speaking is none other than that most charming of ocean summer resorts snd watering places, that famous refuge from the beat and dost of the weary city—the beach at Cape May. * • • We speak literally, for it is a city, and not a village or town merely, at which the traveler will land when hr debarks at Cape May. In this census we speak, of coarse, of the permanent residents only, and not cl the
