Asbury Park (NJ) (Images of America)

Asbury Park, founded as a Christian resort community on the Jersey shore by developer James A. Bradley at the turn of the century, was carved from a small but impressive tract of undulating sand dunes and towering forests. This marvelous new photographic
history chronicles the early development of Bradleyâ€™s resort, and looks at some of the other influential civic and religious leaders who contributed to the cityâ€™s heritage. Bradleyâ€™s ability to market and promote Asbury Park in the early years was noteworthy; the first streets in town were named after prominent political and religious figures, and a good deal of signage advertised the cityâ€™s
Christian image to those passing through. To attract visitors, Bradley sponsored the East Coastâ€™s first baby parade and music on the boardwalk. Over the years, Asbury Park became home to a variety of different cultures and religious faiths, and this bookâ€•published in the centennial year of the cityâ€™s incorporationâ€•offers
early evidence of the cityâ€™s diversity.
