A few months ago we took a road trip down through southern New Jersey on the historical marker and lighthouse trail. We spent 4 days following the trail and learning a lot of history on the area. Millions of people drive by historical markers and never look at them. We're trying to give attention to this markers and the history that you can learn by reading them.
While driving through North Wildwood in New Jersey we came across a brand new historical marker. Here's the information for it.
Borough of Anglesea 1185-1906
Borough Hall
Nathan Yowdall built a three-story social hall on this site in 1902 and planned to rent the first floor to the Anglesea Fire Company. But Mayor & Council purchased the entire building, holding their first meeting in the new hall on January 22, 1903. After an August 1922 fire the top floor was removed; the remaining floors were used by the Fire Company and later Civil Defense until the building was torn down in 2001.
City of North Wildwood, New Jersey
If you're interested in the historical marker trail or the lighthouses in southern New Jersey, you can find all kinds of information, posts, and photographs on the blog.
