Originally opened in the late 1800s, it became known for its grand architecture, theaters, ballrooms, vaudeville performances, concerts, and large-scale public events. By the early 1900s, the pier was a centerpiece of Atlantic City nightlife, drawing visitors from across the country who arrived by rail to experience entertainment, dining, and spectacle all in one place.
