Why does North Wildwood have massive back bays and why were they never built on? That is what the Wildwood Video Archive was asked about.

The roots of today's North Wildwood trace back to Anglesea, a fishing village in the 1880s. Frederick Swope, with his partner, acquired undeveloped land south of Anglesea, laying the foundation for the Five Mile Beach Improvement Company and Anglesea Railroad.

Swope envisioned a thriving North Wildwood, attracting visitors through accessible transportation. His 1879 marketing map, though never filed, outlined the city's potential grid and street names, many named after states.

The map's success led to property purchases through the North Wildwood Land Company, fueled by widespread newspaper advertisements.

The island was exploding with activity and construction, but previously approved plans called for a back bay that would have houses, streets and marinas. What Happened?
