Wildwood is a city in Cape May County, New Jersey. On January 1, 1912, Wildwood was incorporated as a city. A building boom began in the 1950s, due partially to the construction and completion of the Garden State Parkway in 1955.

Getting Around: The Wildwoods Boardwalk Sightseer Tram Cars were originally built for the 1939 Worlds Fair in New York City. In 1949, Gilbert Ramagosa purchased five of the electric powered cars and put them into service on the Wildwoods Boardwalk. For fifty-six continuous years the Tram Cars have ferried tens of millions of visitors and locals alike along the Boardwalk. The Tram Cars can operate for up to 12 hours at a time on the power of a single 2,000 pound electric battery! On this date, eight Tram Cars traversed the Boardwalk and a $3.00 fare provided seating one-way on the Tram Car as it transported visitors to their desired destinations along the two-mile walk. (Prices and more may or may not change as the years go by). The Tram Cars ran a continuous loop from Cresse Avenue on the Wildwood/Wildwood Crest border to 16th Street in North Wildwood. Service began each year, on a limited basis, on Easter Weekend. As the season progressed and customer demand increased, a 11:00 AM to approximately 1:00 AM schedule prevailed (again - subject to change as time passes). Tram service was available through mid-September weekdays and weekends.
