Seaside Heights, New Jersey
Seaside Heights is a borough in Ocean County, New Jersey, United States. As of the 2010 United States Census, the borough's population was 2,887,〔〔〔 reflecting a decline of 268 (-8.5%) from the 3,155 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 789 (+33.3%) from the 2,366 counted in the 1990 Census.〔(Table 7. Population for the Counties and Municipalities in New Jersey: 1990, 2000 and 2010 ), New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development, February 2011. Accessed January 1, 2013.〕 Seaside Heights is situated on the Barnegat Peninsula, a long, narrow barrier peninsula that separates Barnegat Bay from the Atlantic Ocean. During the summer, the borough attracts a crowd largely under the age of 21, drawn to a community with boardwalk entertainment and one of the few shore communities with sizable numbers of apartments, attracting as many as 65,000 people who are often out until early morning visiting bars and restaurants.〔Mansnerus, Laura. ("So, Just Who Goes Where When Going to the Shore?" ), ''The New York Times'', June 6, 1999. Accessed July 13, 2011. "Seaside Heights, with a summer population of about 65,000, is packed, one of the few shore towns with larger apartment buildings. The boardwalk has almost a mile of skeeball and video arcades and enough fast food and bars to amuse the young into the early-morning hours. 'I don't think they let you into Seaside Heights if you're over 21,' said Kristin Farfalla, a sales representative at Midway Beach Real Estate in South Seaside Park."〕
Seaside Heights was incorporated as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on February 26, 1913, from portions of both Berkeley Township and Dover Township (now Toms River Township), based on the results of a referendum held on March 25, 1913.〔Snyder, John P. (''The Story of New Jersey's Civil Boundaries: 1606-1968'' ), Bureau of Geology and Topography; Trenton, New Jersey; 1969. p. 205. Accessed January 28, 2012.〕 The borough was named for its location on the Atlantic Ocean.〔Hutchinson, Viola L. (''The Origin of New Jersey Place Names'' ), New Jersey Public Library Commission, May 1945. Accessed October 1, 2015.〕
As a resort community, with a beach, an amusement-oriented boardwalk, and numerous clubs and bars, making it a popular destination, Seaside Heights calls itself, "Your Home For Family Fun Since 1913!"〔(Seaside Heights Beach Information ), accessed April 5, 2007〕 The beach season runs from March to October, with the peak months being July and August, when the summer population explodes to 30,000 to 65,000.〔〔(ABOUT SEASIDE HEIGHTS ), accessed May 10, 2007. "A community of 3,100 year-round residents, Seaside Heights expands to more than 30,000 in the summer."〕 Route 37 in Toms River is routinely gridlocked on Friday afternoons in the summer months as vacationers travel to the barrier islands. The community is also known as the location of the hit MTV show ''Jersey Shore'', with the director of the borough's business improvement district saying in 2010 that "we can't even calculate the economic benefit" to Seaside Heights from the continued presence of the show.〔Ditzian, Eric. ("'Jersey Shore' Brings Seaside Heights A Fiscal Fist-Pump: 'We can't even calculate the economic benefit,' local business exec says." ), MTV.com, April 12, 2010. Accessed July 13, 2011. "'Ever since it aired in the beginning of December, the phones have been ringing earlier and more often,' Maria Maruca, executive director of the Seaside Heights Business Improvement District, told MTV News. 'Now that the show is coming back, we can't even calculate the economic benefit.'〕
==History==
In 1915, Senate Amusement Company of Philadelphia was working on plans to build an ocean-side attraction in Seaside Heights within feet of the border to Sea Side Park. Their plan was to build a covered pier to house a carousel. The structure was built in 1915 under the direction of Joseph Vanderslice of Senate Amusement Company. Budget issues caused the business to not open in 1916, and the amusement ride and building was subsequently sold to Frank Freeman. The combination of the completion of the Toms River Bridge on October 23, 1914,〔(The Toms River Bridge ), Discover Seaside Heights. Accessed January 25, 2015.〕 and the DuPont Avenue carousel and boardwalk are what likely led to the 159% population growth shown between the 1920 and 1930 censuses in Seaside Heights.〔(Boardwalk History: Some Seaside Heights' Firsts ), Discover Seaside Heights.
