The cities name is steeped in history. Simplified it was named after a local wildflower. Like most of the Cape may be this is a coastal city that fills up with tourists during the summer seasons. Wildwoods history is a little richer than most of the boroughs in Cape May County. One of my favorite pages that will give the curious a really interesting look at the history of Wildwood can be found on “The Boardwalk Blog.”
Wildwood was originally called “Angelsea.” In 1905 the area was purchased by investors. Angelsea with some surrounding beaches were incorporated into a sister community called “The Wildwoods.” The group of cities was Wildwood City, North Wildwood, West Wildwood, And Wildwood Crest.
In more recent history the area was famous for rock and roll. In the 1960’s Chubby Checkers debuted his version of “The Twist”. Most likely following in the Footsteps of Bill Haley and his Comets who debuted “Rock around the Clock” at the HofBrau Hotel in Wildwood.
