History

Somers Point is a city located in Atlantic County, New Jersey, along the eastern coast of the state. It has a rich history that dates back to colonial times and has played an important role in the development of the region.

The area where Somers Point is situated was originally inhabited by the Lenape Native American tribe. In the early 17th century, European settlers began to arrive in the area. Somers Point was named after Richard Somers, a naval hero of the American Revolutionary War.

During the 18th and 19th centuries, Somers Point became a bustling port town. It served as a transportation hub for goods and people traveling between New Jersey and nearby cities like Philadelphia. Ships carrying lumber, oysters, and other commodities regularly docked at Somers Point, contributing to the town's economic growth.
