In 1906, Sen. William H. Reynolds purchased an abandoned barrier
island along the south shore of Long Island and vowed to turn it
into a great city. What is now Long Beach, the "City by the Sea,"
soon drew visitors who came for its summer resorts, boardwalk,
dance pavilions, casino, and luxury hotels. Two world wars,
Prohibition, and easy railroad access turned summer residences into
year-long homes for thousands eager to live by the seaside and
raise families in what has been known as "America's Healthiest
City." The images of Long Beach reflect the diversity of the city's
architecture, culture, religions, and unique neighborhoods.
Photographs show the storied inhabitants and bungalows of the West
End, water-lined homes of the canals, the 2.1-mile boardwalk, and
long white sand beach.
