Accessed September 4, 2014.〕 |website = |footnotes = }} Wildwood Crest is a borough in Cape May County, New Jersey, United States. It is part of the Ocean City Metropolitan Statistical Area. As of the 2010 United States Census, the borough's population was 3,270,〔〔〔 reflecting a decline of 710 (−17.8%) from the 3,980 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 349 (+9.6%) from the 3,631 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 July 24, 2012.〕 Wildwood Crest was incorporated as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on April 6, 1910, from portions of Lower Township.〔Snyder, John P. (''The Story of New Jersey's Civil Boundaries: 1606-1968'' ), Bureau of Geology and Topography; Trenton, New Jersey; 1969. p. 116. Accessed July 24, 2012.〕 The area of the borough was first developed by Philip Baker in the 1910s as a southern extension to the resort of Wildwood.〔Strauss, Robert. ("REAL ESTATE; Save Our Mansion" ), ''The New York Times'', December 5, 2004. Accessed February 1, 2011. "So far, Wildwood Crest, founded and developed by Philip Baker in the 1910s, at the same time the house was built, has eluded much of the tear-down syndrome."〕 The borough's name comes from Wildwood, which in turn was named for the area's wild flowers.〔Hutchinson, Viola L. (''The Origin of New Jersey Place Names'' ), New Jersey Public Library Commission, May 1945. Accessed October 29, 2015.〕 It is a dry town, where alcohol cannot be sold, affirmed by the results of a referendum held in 1940,〔New Jersey Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control. New Jersey ABC list of dry towns (May 1, 2013)〕〔Giordano, Rita. ("More towns catching liquor-license buzz; Moorestown considers ending its dry spell" ), ''The Philadelphia Inquirer'', June 24, 2007. Accessed February 16, 2014.〕 joining Cape May Point, Ocean City and West Cape May among municipalities in Cape May restricting the sale of alcohol.〔Schaad, Jacob, Jr. ("Bizarre History of Cape May - Wet or dry?" ), ''The Cape May Gazette'', October 30, 2013. Accessed November 11, 2013. "Wildwood Crest, Ocean City, West Cape May and Cape May Point have opted to stay dry while the 12 other communities in the county still permit their people to lift a few."〕 The borough was ranked the second-best beach in New Jersey in the 2008 Top 10 Beaches Contest sponsored by the New Jersey Marine Sciences Consortium.〔Urgo, Jacqueline L. ("Triumph for South Jersey" ), ''The Philadelphia Inquirer'', May 23, 2008. Accessed October 29, 2015. "Neighboring Wildwood Crest came in second, followed by Ocean City, North Wildwood, Cape May, Asbury Park in Monmouth County, Avalon, Point Pleasant Beach in northern Ocean County, Beach Haven in southern Ocean County and Stone Harbor."〕 Wildwood Crest is one of five municipalities in the state that offer free public access to oceanfront beaches monitored by lifeguards, joining Atlantic City, North Wildwood, Wildwood and Upper Township's Strathmere section.〔Spoto, MaryAnn. ("Surfers fighting to save dwindling free beaches" ), NJ Advance Media for NJ.com, May 20, 2015. Accessed October 30, 2015. "New Jersey has five free guarded ocean beaches – Atlantic City, Wildwood, North Wildwood, Wildwood Crest and the Strathmere section of Upper Township."〕 ==Geography== According to the United States Census Bureau, the borough had a total area of 1.309 square miles (3.390 km2), including 1.134 square miles (2.937 km2) of land and 0.175 square miles (0.454 km2) of water (13.38%).〔〔 Part of the borough's beachfront has been closed off for the protection of native birds such as the piping plover. These small birds have this area all to themselves so that their eggs may be protected from beachgoers.〔Jacobs, Andrew. ("Metro Briefing New Jersey: Wildwood Crest: Beach Off Limits To Humans" ), ''The New York Times'', May 2, 2001. Accessed September 4, 2011.〕 There is a nature trail one may take through the dunes to explore this sheltered area of the beach. Wildwood Crest borders the Diamond Beach section of Lower Township to the south, the City of Wildwood to the north, and the Atlantic Ocean. Wildwood Crest and its neighboring towns of Wildwood, North Wildwood, and West Wildwood make up "The Wildwoods" resort, a popular vacation destination for those living in all parts of New Jersey as well as the Philadelphia and New York City metropolitan areas. Many vacationers and tourists have come from as far away as, New England and Canada and have made The Wildwoods a vacation hotspot, due to the area's mild summer climate. Unlike its sister communities of Wildwood and North Wildwood, Wildwood Crest is generally set apart from the all-hours excitement that the resort area is known for. Many vacationers will find some of the quietest and most undisturbed beach space. In recent years, condominiums have replaced many of the motels the area was known for, such as The Grand, The Ocean Breeze, El Coronado, and The Arcadia. Some restaurants have been torn down and replaced with condominiums, including The Captain's Table, The Surfside, and Duffenetti's. These changes in housing have significantly changed the demographics of this area, from being a more family oriented one-vacation-per-summer place (for the middle class) to being a weekend retreat for wealthier families. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wildwood Crest, New Jersey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
