    The history of Atlantic City is the history of an American resort. Atlantic City boasted - and still boasts today - ocean vistas, beach activities, the Boardwalk, and a variety of family vacation activities. Atlantic City was the birthplace of the Miss America Pageant, salt water taffy, and the term "airport". It was the home of the Diving Horse. Its streets were the inspiration for the game Monopoly.
