Few cities in New Jersey have a history as closely tied to rail links serving Atlantic City as Absecon. Set on the mainland beside Absecon Bay, it occupies a low-lying coastal plain of tidal marshes just northwest of its larger neighbour. Absecon was incorporated as a city in 1874, and its station is still served by NJ Transit’s Atlantic City Line, connecting the community with Philadelphia and Atlantic City. The city’s setting reflects the transition between southern New Jersey’s inland communities and the shore’s dense resort corridor.
