About Wildwood NJ
In the early 1890s, when this promising plot of land was first called “Wildwood,” the Baker Brothers had good reason for giving it that name. It was, at the time, more of a forest than a beach. But within only a few short years, the Bakers had ambitiously developed a valuable piece of real estate, founding the borough of Wildwood in 1895. Eleven years later, the development pressed southward, and the first house was built in the new community of Wildwood Crest. By 1910, Wildwood Crest was already fitted with hundreds of homes, apartments and hotels—quite a development in only four years time. Over the decades that followed, the Wildwoods would come to be enjoyed by visitors of all types for its soothing shores and its invigorating sea breeze.
