A Brief History of Ocean City, Maryland

Ocean City is Maryland’s only coastal community, situated on a barrier island that, until the mid-1800s, was a barren place attracting only a few fishermen who came over from the mainland on small row boats. In 1869, a local farmer named Isaac Coffin constructed a small inn to accommodate the fishermen and others who were beginning to show an interest in the beach as a refuge from city life. Soon, other hotel properties arose and after Ocean City became incorporated in 1875, the small fishing village was on its way to becoming a seaside vacation destination.

In 1876, a railroad bridge was built over the Sinepuxent Bay. Prior to the bridge, visitors had to ride the train to the edge of the mainland where they would then cross the bay by boat. Visitors would travel hours to spend one idyllic afternoon at the seashore.

In the early 1900s, Daniel B. Trimper and his brother, both from Baltimore, started an amusement park. The park is still owned and operated by the Trimper family. Capt. Christopher Ludlum and his son, traveled from Cape May, NJ, and started the pound fishing industry, the source of employment for many local men. While the men fished, the wives and mothers were instrumental in running the hotels that catered to vacationers.
